It's the other way 'round: On Windows, Unicode file names are the
natural choice, and byte strings have limitations. In a sense, Windows
got it right - but then, they started later. Unix missed the opportunity
of declaring that all file APIs are UTF-8 (except for Plan-9 and OS X,
neither being "true" Unix).
