Comment(by zooko):

 Why not take sqlite's advice and store only unicode strings in the db?
 This would be consistent with the direction that we're going on the
 {{{tahoe cp}}} issues: basically we're not going to support people who
 want to have ill-encoded filenames or a wrongly configured locale and who
 want their filenames to make round trips unchanged.  I don't think that
 class of user is big enough (is it even non-null?) or their demands are
 reasonable enough that we should keep trying to satisfy them as well as
 satisfying people who have well-encoded filenames.
