New description:

 {{{
 - It is looks like most of modern file systems works in
 UNICODE.

 - There is a trivial transformation method from UNICODE
 to the low part of ASCII. And if there is no UNICODE
 support in some filesystem, then it can be emulated
 using this transformation.

 - The inaccessibility of UNICODE support breaks all the
 advantages of boost::filesystem, because if you live
 outside USA, UK and other English-speaking countries,
 then you must be ready to work with UNICODE .paths
