-1 from me.

- I hate to see Unicode exceptions here. It would be an another source of 
mysterious Unicode exception. Programmers and users would be confused by error 
message. If you make such characters error, Python should raise an OSError or 
such.

- File names with '?' are fine to display informations to users. Not all file 
names are nessesary to be used to open files.

- I don't think filenames cannot be decoded in ANSI code page are rare enough 
to be ignored. I use Japanese edition of windows, but I sometime receive files 
with Chinese or German names. 

Or, in some case, I have to change codepage with 'chcp 437' command to run 
console application made for American environment. I seldom run such 
application in these days, though.
