@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandI agree, it would be way easier to just do a possibly lossy conversion of all attrpaths and paths to UTF8, and it would probably result in fewer bugs overall + less code and specialized parsers etc13:50:15
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandJust trying to avoid losing any necessary representational ability13:51:09
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandThen again, if a tool like git was rebuilt today maybe it would just insist UTF8 everywhere13:51:36
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandI guess the issue for tools such as nix and git is that they need to work with such a broad set of environments so it might not be possible to make that assumption yet13:53:54
