As @codebrainz said, it's to handle filename encoding implicitly. We could duplicate this (it's used in several places), even with just a mere copy to ensure it uses the same libc, but it should probably only be done if we find an actual issue with this. AFAIK we never got bitten by this, so I'd rather assess the actual possibilities before going ahead and copying some code over.
