Ok, that's reasonable.  I'm not expecting to be able to use character- 
file-names everywhere in 3.0, or really anywhere, as nice as that  
would be.  I just want to be able to perform all operations with all  
files (to the extent they're supported by the O/S and filesystem, etc.).

Making a convenient, portable API that lets me do that easily is  
certainly out of scope.
