RE_CHAR_TO_MULTIBYTE(c) yields c for ASCII characters and a byte8
character for c ≥ 0x80.  Furthermore, CHAR_BYTE8_P(c) is true only
for byte8 characters.  This means that

	c = RE_CHAR_TO_MULTIBYTE (ch);
	if (! CHAR_BYTE8_P (c) && re_iswctype (c, cc))

is equivalent to:

	c = c;
	if (! false && re_iswctype (c, cc))

for 0 ⪬ c < 0x80, and

	c = BYTE8_TO_CHAR (c);
	if (! true && re_iswctype (c, cc))

for 0x80 ⪬ c < 0x100.  In other words, the loop never executes for
c ≥ 0x80 and RE_CHAR_TO_MULTIBYTE call is unnecessary for c < 0x80.
