Hi,

I've working a little on accessing files and directories using Ada.Director=
ies and have been using a thin wrapper layer to convert from Wide_String to=
 UTF8 and back.  It does, however, seem strange there is no Wide_Directorie=
s version in the std library.  Was there a technical reason it wasn't inclu=
ded?

Take care,
Michael
