Dear Robert,

the problem is: What else should they be? The "String" type represents
unicode characters, so using that for a file name requires them to be
decoded somehow.

I guess the solution, which you have found already, for uses where
arbitrary filenames need to work is to use a type that is meant for
that, i.e. ByteString.

So I’m not sure what to do about this bug.

Greetings,
Joachim
