[pdal] Non-English characters

Hi Andrew,
It seems to me that passing UTF-8 std::strings to the readers doesn’t seem to work. I created a folder with foreign characters and placed a few different points files inside, but am not getting a useful PointView when executing the table (there’s either an exception thrown or there are no points). These same files are read fine when they are in a purely English folder path.
I've attached a code snippet and the information from the strings that are being passed to readerOptions.add(), if you want some more information I can try to provide it.
Regards,
Stephen

Hi,
I am looking to allow non-English characters in pathnames when passing them to PDAL readers, however inferReaderDriver and add(“filename”, .) both accept std::strings as arguments. Does PDAL support using file paths that include Unicode characters? Will I need to implement something with UTF-8?
I believe that UTF-8 should work fine provided the drivers that open the files can deal with it. It's possible that we're doing some parsing of paths that may not take this into account, but I'm not sure. If you have examples of this not working, let me know and I'll take a look.
