Same here.
I've worked in environments where they were common as well. Having
a common name between MUA and FS would certainly be nice.
It would be nicer for some scripts and plugins as well.
Will there be an API to match folder names, upper and lower case
etc.pp.?
As for the risks, maybe some Unicode ranges could be restricted to
avoid control characters and such? Or limit the use to given subsets?
UTF8 does use octets >= 0x80, every system should be 8bit clean
nowadays.
I had some worries rather than risk. Some MUA may convert before
passing the name, and it results in no match... but maybe Timo thought
about this already :)
Other than looking weird to sys admin whose non foreign speaker,
especially in bidirectional presentation, in file system, there should
be no issue.
best,
Joseph
