(null-terminated) \fBwchar_t\fR character string

It is similar to constructing a \fBcchar_t\fR for each wchar_t in the string,
then calling \fBwadd_wch\fR for the resulting \fBcchar_t\fR.

+The \fImv\fR functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any
characters.
Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of writing to the window.

Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
or if the window pointer is null.
