No, it's C90. Plus C90 had mblen, wcstombs, mbstowcs, wctomb, mbtowc
(and maybe others) declared in stdlib.h.

wchar_t was introduced in C95, right?

Nope; in C89. And most if not all of the wchar_t facilities found in
stdlib.h (conversion between mbs and wcs, etc).

C95 added all the iswalpha(), etc, in wctype.h, and wprintf(), etc in
wchar.h. C99 has added just a few more.

The rationale document has a good deal of information about this in the
MSE annex. http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/C99RationaleV5.10.pdf
