Hi Enrico,

It looks like after this change the hex character number is no longer
emitted when printing wchar_t, which made
TestCxxWCharT.CxxWCharTTestCase fail.

(lldb) expression L'a'
(wchar_t) $1 = 61 L'a'    # old
(wchar_t) $1 = L'a'       # new

The new behaviour seems preferable to me anyway, so unless there's
some reason we have to print it I'll update the test case to match
what happens now.

FWIW it seems GDB does print the character number, but in decimal.
