For almost all intents and purposes, it returns UTF-8, because that's what
the APIs to HFS+, et al expect. However, it's conceivable that some file
system might want path strings in another (legacy) format. Say, Shift_JIS,
Big5, or KOI8-R.

I'm not sure any do. I'm not even sure the vfs layer allows the fs to
register a preference. But there's a function for it, so you might as well
use it.
