Summary0000272: fwide requirement missing
Description The fwide() page is missing a statement:

     "The fwide() function shall not change the setting of errno if successful."

 before "Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an
 application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0,
 then call fwide(), then check errno ..."

 An equivalent statement appears in the descriptions of other functions
 that have no return value reserved to indicate an error, e.g. strcoll(),
 strerror(), strxfrm().

 This defect report should be sent down the interpretations track for
 consideration in TC1.
Desired ActionInsert (CX shaded):

     "The fwide() function shall not change the setting of errno if successful."

before "Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error ..." on XSH6,
P467, L15657. In XSH7, this goes before P972, L32521.
