* Support unicode file paths. This impacts the way we encode file URLs. Currently, we encode them in the "native filesystem charset" and then %-escape any non-ASCII bytes. This is not going to work if we wish to support full unicode file paths because the conversion from unicode to "native filesystem charset" may be lossy. | * Support unicode file paths.
