Well, I agree that this was benifical if you do not test with
non-us-ascii characters internally... But now that the problem has been
found I have this feeling that it is pointless to let even more people
find the same problem if it can be worked around that easily.
(Especially as I'm not 100% sure that this does not let you create files
that you will have problems with after the fix has been made.)
