  I don't know whether or not the wording in the ISO C++ Working Paper
  was stolen from the ISO C Standard (it probably was), but
  multicharacter character literals are legal, and have type `int' in
  C++ (unless prefixed by `L', in which case their type is `wchar_t').

  However, their value for any given sequence of characters is
  implementation defined, which almost certainly means that "endianism"
  applies.
