If you get a file name from the file system, for example, from readdir() or from g_dir_read_name(), and you wish to display the file name to the user, you will need to convert it into UTF-8.Well, only if you're operating on a retro *nix system that doesn't use UTF-8.
As a practical issue this may seem very small, but I nevertheless desire to support such a system, if nothing else because making such an assumption would hinder experimentation. UTF-8 will almost surely be succeeded someday too
