I believe that you are correct: If you use el_wset, you should use wchar_t. The 
problem is that for libedit versions prior to 2016-04-19 the getchar function 
used char * for narrow and wchar_t * for wide. Versions after that use wchar_t 
* for both. This was an accident due to some code refactoring. If you are 
checking if that's the case or not, perhaps you can determine this if 
el_rfunc_t is defined in histedit.h or not. Unfortunately there is no compile 
time way to determine if that's the case or not.
