Not sure if this is a poll but -Wparen-string doesn't add any new

Oh? FWIW, C99 way is L"......" for wide string literals and L'...' for
I know but that is not portable. A wchar is 16bit on Windows and 32bit
in the normal world. gcc has the -fshort-wchar switch to make a wchar
16bit but that still produces problems; afair when bridging between the
hosts native 32bit wchar and Windows 16bit wchar. To avoid that Wine uses:
WCHAR s[] = {'H','e','l','l','o',' ','W','o','r','l','d',0};
wide character ones. sparse doesn't handle either and I'm not sure if
we really want to open that can of worms...
There are only 6 .c files (out of around 2000) that do not parse in Wine
due to missing support wide char character constant / string literal.
I had a look at sparse on how to fix it but it seems to require more
than some trivial changes. I mean to implement it correctly and not just
to stop sparse from mis parsing the rest of the file too.
