If you feel it's better to separate the functions for strings from the functions
for wide strings, I would write it like this:
* using the values returned from a localeconv(3) call for lo‐
cale-dependent information;
* using the multibyte and wide character functions for text pro‐
cessing if MB_CUR_MAX > 1;
* using strcoll(3) or strxfrm(3) to compare strings; and
* using wcscoll(3) or wcsxfrm(3) to compare wide-character strings.
Regarding the type of enumeration, I generally use
- (1), (2), (3), ... when the order matters, e.g. to describe steps that
need to be done one after the other,
- (a), (b), (c), ... for alternatives ("or"),
- simple *, *, *, ... for other enumerations.
