That makes sense.

However, I'd prefer to see the UTF data lazily computed.  That way
there's minimal overhead in the (not uncommon) case where no low-level
operation is actually performed on the File.

So maybe Mohan's class isn't needed after all...


BTW we should probably use the default encoding, and not UTF, for file
names and the like.  Your approach makes that simpler.
