That's apparently only for comparisons, so I don't see how it's
relevant.

I'm unable to find more info about this. E.g., what does "reject file
names" mean in practice? E.g., if a program tries to create a file
using an utf8-incompatible filename, what happens? Does the fopen()
fail? Would this normally be a problem? E.g., do tar and similar
programs convert utf8-incompatible filenames to utf8 upon extraction if
my locale (or wherever the fs encoding is taken from) is set to use
utf-8? If they don't, then what happens with archives containing
utf8-incompatible filenames?
