OK, so the implementation would have to know that on this platform 
filenames are in UTF-16, on this it is UTF-8 and so on.

Not that it is a terribly big deal. In the program where I want to 
support Unicode names, I've already written a module around Win32API::File,
which permits to open a file in Windows, and the associate it with 
a file handle.
