Hi,

I'd like to resurrect the discussion on Wide_Strings and OS interfacing, i.e.,
provide Ada.Wide_Directories, Ada.Wide_Command_Line, etc., how to transform a
Wide_String into something the underlying OS will understand should probably
be part of the runtime rather than having application trying to figure it out
in some portable, ad hoc, manner.

While on the subject of Wide_Strings, it would be "nice" to be able to use
them in the context of a "raise ... with" but the syntax and impact of this
would probably be too much.

Take care,
Michael.
