=begin
On my Windows, the FILE macro is in local codepage. However, it should be in some encoding which could handle international characters, e.g. UTF-8.

• Category set to M17N
• Status changed from Open to Rejected

=begin
FILE has filesystem encoding, so locale codepage is intended.
When Ruby's Unicode support is well done,
filesystem encoding come to be UTF-8 and FILL also becomes UTF-8.

=begin
So why is it rejected if it is valid point? Especially if I am using Ruby from win32-unicode-test branch and considering Matz words at ruby-core:20110

=begin
Because it is not a bug, current behavior is intended in this point,
even if a feature requst may accept.

This is to ease managing tickets which are absolutely BUG.
