That could be the situation _today_, but that's just sheer luck (or
lack thereof).  In general, all the file-handling code we have in
fileio.c and dired.c should be equally prepared to handle unibyte
non-ASCII file names and multibyte file names, because we may need
that any time.  When we make changes in Emacs, we shouldn't be worried
whether those changes could cause some dired.c code be called early on
during Emacs startup.
