I also found that console output on Windows works best with
wchars.
Linux doesn't have any official support to get the module file
name, except for "readlink /proc/<pid>/exe". Maybe because you
are not supposed to use e.g. /usr/local/… or ~/.<program>/
for data or because file paths don't mean that much when its
technically possible to move, hardlink or delete names of a
running program (unlike on Windows).
Despite that I find such a function useful in Phobos.
