Yes, conceptually you are definitely right. The problem here is that
my fs sits on top of something that produce wide (4-byte) character
representation of almost everything internally and I need to reduce
that to generate virtual filenames, symbolic links etc. I just want to
make sure I do that in the most portable way possible. I certainly can
not use wchar_t arrays directly ;)
