+\fBTcl_UtfNcmp\fR corresponds to \fBstrncmp\fR for UTF-8 strings. It
+accepts two NULL-terminated UTF-8 strings and the number of characters
+to compare. (Both strings are assumed to be at least \fIlen\fR
+characters long.) \fBTcl_UtfNcmp\fR compares the two strings
+character-by-character according to the Unicode character ordering.

+\fBTcl_UtfNcasecmp\fR corresponds to \fBstrncasecmp\fR for UTF-8

\fBTcl_UtfCharComplete\fR returns 1 if the source UTF-8 string \fIsrc\fR
