It's not to do with Haskeline. The real underlying problem is that
our filesystem APIs on Unix interpret FilePath as [Word8] without
doing any encoding/decoding; they just strip off all but the low 8
bits of each Char. This is a long-standing problem, and won't be
solved properly until we switch to an abstract FilePath type, but
that's a big change that will break lots of code.
Lots more good discussion here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3456
If there were a filePathToString function we could use it in GHC to
fix the above glitch.
