 * This function indicates whether the character encoding used in the file

 * of |nsILocalFile|) is UTF-8 or not. Knowing that helps us avoid an 
 * unncessary encoding conversion in some cases. For instance, to get the leaf
 * name in UTF-8 out of nsILocalFile, we can just use |GetNativeLeafName| rather
 * than using |GetLeafName| and converting the result to UTF-8 if the file 
 * system  encoding is UTF-8.
 * On Unix (but not on Mac OS X), it depends on the locale and is not known
 * in advance (at the compilation time) so that this function needs to be 
 * a real function. On Mac OS X and BeOS, it's always UTF-8 while on Windows 
 * and other platforms (e.g. OS2), it's never UTF-8.
