As far as I can tell, the only time you ever run into the problems  
you've described on a filesystem which treats filenames as unicode  
strings (and therefore is free to normalize), are when you're trying  
to interact with a filesystem that treats filenames as sequences of  
bytes.

This doesn't mean treating filenames as unicode strings is wrong, it  
just means that the world would be much better if every filesystem had  
the same behaviour here. It's kinda like the endian issue, except  
there's no simple solution here.
