We are talking about the encoding of file names in the file system,
right?  If so, is it necessarily the case that `locale_charset' will
produce the correct value for that?  I'm not sure.  At least for
Windows, `locale_charset' is not necessarily TRT.

Would it make sense to let the user specify the local encoding, at
least as an option?
