And you're right. That's very curious. I guess they did that because  
the entire Carbon stack was written assuming NFD (back at the same  
time HFS+ was created), and they wanted to provide a consistent  
interface to applications. Since the filesystem already uses NFC,  
renormalizing to NFD shouldn't lose anything (want the original  
representation back? just normalize back to NFC).


I was actually hoping for something I could test myself.
