46   --  using the internal compiler escape sequence convention (defined in
47   --  package Widechar) to translate characters that are out of range
48   --  of type String. In the context of the Wide_Value attribute, the
49   --  argument is the original attribute argument, and the result is used
50   --  in a call to the corresponding Value attribute function. If the method
51   --  for encoding is a shift-in, shift-out convention, then it is assumed
52   --  that normal (non-wide character) mode holds at the start and end of
53   --  the result string. EM indicates the wide character encoding method.

55   --  for characters greater than 16#FF#. The lowest index of the returned
56   --  String is equal to S'First.
