Wait, did you tell us some time ago that normalization does not matter and you just need to treat strings "as text"? Now, it looks like the Carbon stack does not treat strings "as text". How come? Maybe, you should stop lying and admit that changing Unicode strings does matter even if they remain equivalent. > Since the filesystem already uses NFC, > renormalizing to NFD shouldn't lose anything (want the original > representation back? just normalize back to NFC). On Windows, you can create two *different* files -- one with NFC and the other with NFD name. I wonder, how it is going to work with your renormalization back and force.
