Hello Simon,

Simon, it will somewhat broke openFile. let's see. there are 3 types
of filenames -
1) english (latin-1) only
2) including local (ansi code page) chars
3) including any other unicode chars
now getDirectoryContents return ACP (ansi code page) names so openFile
works for files 1) and 2)
with such change getDirectoryContents will return correct unicode
names, so openFile will work only with names in first group
the right way is to fix ALL string-related calls in System.IO,
System.Posix.Internals, System.Environment
You're right in that we really ought to fix everything. However, I'm
happy to just fix some of these things, even if it introduces some
inconsistencies in the meantime. We already have much of
System.Directory working with Unicode FilePaths, so there are already
inconsistencies here.
Thanks for reminding me that openFile is also broken. It's easily
fixed, so I'll look into that.
Cheers,
Simon
