As you say, Vim works fine with UTF-8. It's just that until very
recently, I've been using the rxvt terminal emulator, which lacks
Unicode support; so Vim being compiled against ncurses (*without*
wide characters) was a good match.

Now that I'm switching to the MinTTY terminal, which supports
Unicode/UTF-8, I need a Vim compiled against ncursesw (*with*
wide characters) if my assessment of the situation is correct.
