Though, if the entity referred to by `str` is meant to refer to a string
encoded as UTF-16, `*str` should refer to a type that includes the entire
*BOM* (like a proper `wchar_t`), and not just the first byte.

I do not think that is a problem with the macro per se, if anything it
would be a side-effect of invalid usage of the type used to refer to the
string.
