// Use wide characters directly
// Note: We don't use C++17 std::filesystem::path as a means to pass wide paths
// to file streams because of various problems:
// - std::filesystem is available in gcc 8 but it is broken there (fails to compile path definition
//   on Windows). Compilation errors seem to be fixed since gcc 9.
// - In gcc 10.2 and clang 8.0.1 on Cygwin64, the path attempts to convert the wide string to narrow
//   and fails in runtime. This may be system locale dependent, and performing character code conversion
//   is against the purpose of using std::filesystem::path anyway.
// - Other std::filesystem implementations were not tested, so it is not known if they actually work
//   with wide paths.
