That would be a nice addition, especially with the recent mblen()
business (could have used that a few times myself).  So +1 for the
addition of the macro in the back branches.

Do we need to be that conservative with the removal in v19?  We could
just pull the deletion switch without waiting for v20, IMO..  With the
deprecated macro in place, at least folks would be aware of the
problem.
