1) A multiuser machine, with users using different charsets.
Who decides which one is "local"?
2) The sysamin/user changes the charset, e.g. from iso-8859-1
to iso-8859-15 to get the Euro character.
How should the filenames stay in the local charset when
this changes? Would there be some automatical conversion?
A non-broken solution will have to convert charsets somewhere
between the filesystem level and output to the user's terminal.
(And no, I don't know an easy way to do this :-( )
