I'm worrying about newbies who can start using the language as there is

You definitely can add the File-related bugzilla numbers that prevent
you from getting work done. (Allow me to add some meta-text here - the
above paragraph's rhetoric is exactly what I'm talking about that
doesn't help. If the focus is adding value, then mentioning the exact
issues would definitely be better than sarcastic hyperbole.)
This is "Issue 7648 - std.stdio expects file names to be encoded in
CP_ACP on Windows instead of UTF-8" [1]. I also opened a pull with
cautionary note [2].

Great, thanks! Could someone with more experience in Windows review and
pull this comment? What would be the design of a fix?
