Does this actually work correctly? That is, HFS+ will use a NK?FD
string for the file name. I think the file system code will normalize
if you pass it any valid UTF-8 string (this needs to be checked),
It does.
but XEmacs will not be able to round-trip. We should check that that
will
not cause problems.
It will cause problems; it’s Mule-UCS, its mapping is incomplete. See every
third message Uwe Brauer has been sending to -beta.
On reflection, though, the 21.4 init code is not sensible in this respect,
and file-name-coding-system will not normally be anything other than binary.
It, or the file-name coding system alias, should be used, not utf-8.
