I think the problem goes deeper than that: an R6RS string is a fixed-length
sequence of Unicode scalar values, but a path on a Unix-like system is a
sequence of non-null bytes, and on Windows is a sequence of UTF-16 code units
with possibly unpaired surrogates (aka WTF-16 [1]). That is, there are some
valid paths that can not be represented as Scheme strings.
Racket has a really nice path datatype that handles these subtleties (there
are many bad headaches if you want to be portable to Windows) while allowing
an ergonomic use of strings for the common case. [2]
Zuo has a more minimal path API which takes advantage of the fact that a Zuo
string is like a Scheme bytevector. [3] It doesn't handle all of the
complexity managed by the Racket path type, but focuses on the subset of paths
applicable to a build environment. The implementation of all of Zuo is a
single C file. [4]
