No, switchar was well-documented by Microsoft in manuals provided to
OEMs, and some of them (not IBM) documented it in the documentation
they provided to their users.  Also, since several programs sold by
Microsoft have used the switchar system call in the past, it will not
be in Microsoft's interest to remove the system call now.
