It is the right thing to do on Unix systems, as there filenames are
just byte sequences. (This is just a statement of fact -- arguably,
this is a mis-feature, but that's what we're stuck with.)
This is not necessarily the right thing on Windows systems, where
filenames are Unicode sequences, and might therefore be presented to
user-space in different forms depending on the locale[1]. (This is
just a statement of fact -- arguably, this is a mis-feature, but
that's what we're stuck with.)
