neither being "true" Unix).
How does windows (and Python on windows) handle NFC versus NFD issues?
Can I have two files called "ümlaut.txt", one in NFD and one NFC form?
And are both of those representable on the Python side (i.e. can they
both be returned from listdir() and passed to open())? CIf I compare
these two filenames, do they compare differently?
