Certainly, nothing prevents a program from doing that, but I seriously
don't think that any programs would do that, since that would be
stupid. Having filenames in the system stored with different charsets
seems like a really bad thing in my mind. Also, if that is the case,
you won't be able to support wide char filename searches anyway, since
you won't know how to convert filenames into wchar strings.
