*headscratch* I agree that UTF-8 locales are a good idea (that's why I'm
using UTF-8 exclusively), but breaking existing standards at will looks
like a strange policy to me. As a toolkit developer, you simply don't know
where the filenames will be stored and how they will be treated/converted
on the way (maybe it's an NFS or SMB export?)
