[pdal] Non-English characters

[Andrew Bell]

I still haven't seen code that shows a UTF-8 string being passed to PDAL as
a filename and PDAL failing to handle it.  Something like this would help:

void main()
{
  LasReader r;
  Options ro;
  ro.add("filename", "some filename that causes a problem")

  PointTable t;
  r.prepare(t);
  r.execute(t);
  std::cerr << Utils::toJSON(r.getMetadata());
}

Does something like this fail?  If not, can you provide an example?  I
can't help unless I understand the problem.

Thanks,
