There is no need in either pattern parameter or a filter call back
function. What is needed is a proper abstraction that would define file
name as sequence of code points = in an OS-independent way.

Ada.Directories shall convert OS-specific encoding (actually there are many
per OS, like in the case of Windows), when the directory entities are
enumerated. All operations requiring file name shall convert it back.

There are other self-evident requirements. But since it seems that nobody
actually uses Ada.Directories, there will be no pressure on the ARG to fix
it any soon.
