  It's MBCS (i.e. ANSI multi-byte characters) on Windows. The plain was to support
  both MBCS and UTF-8-variant on Windows, but that isn't a thing yet.
  
  Perhaps we'll have to write a platform compatibility layer (or serialization/deserialization
  layer) on top of the Rust's file API, something like vfs.py we have in Python code.
