I know I keep flipflopping on this one, but the more I think about it
the more I believe it is better to drop those names than to raise an
exception. Otherwise a "naive" program that happens to use
os.listdir() can be rendered completely useless by a single non-UTF-8
filename. Consider the use of os.listdir() by the glob module. If I am
globbing for *.py, why should the presence of a file named b'\xff'
cause it to fail?

To avoid silent skipping, is it possible to drop 'unreadable' names, issue a warning (instead of exception), and continue to completion?
"Warning: unreadable filename skipped; see PyWiki/UnreadableFilenames"
