So does Linux. For instance, scp some file with an accented character
from Linux to Mac OS X, then the reverse way: you'll get two files
with the same filename (encoded differently)!
Also it's fine that Mac OS X enforces UTF-8 in filenames. Under Linux,
with users having different locales and applications using different
encoding conventions, this can be a real mess.
