Filenames however are explicitly byte strings So if pattern matching is indeed intended to only have a specified meaning on character strings (in the current locale), then 2.13.3 should somehow explain this. Especially how such patterns should deal with filenames that aren't character strings in the current locale (e.g. error, unspecified, ignored?). For example, would a "ls *" in principle be expected to only match filenames who are character strings in the current locale?
