This is actually already what brlapi__writeText provides when
the current locale is UTF-8, which is the common situation for
programmers.

If the current locale is not UTF-8, brlapi___writeText would have to
compute the number of characters by hand, we'd rather as well make the
server manage all of this by not specifying the regionSize and just pass
the padding/truncating flag I proposed in the other mails.
