Ah, I understand. We were discussing about different theme.
My point is not on the byte sequence for filenames in the filesystem.
It can or cannot be UTF-8. I don't care much because users have
little chance to access to the raw byte sequence on the filesystem.
My point is that user-level commands must obey locale when they
communicate with users. For example, 'ls' must display file names
in locale encoding.
