That is a good idea, but to support old C standards resp. compilers you
have to declare them at the beginning of the blocks, probably wasting
memory if unneeded. A problem might be maximum length of paths. Systems
have a maximum path length MAX_PATH (or PATH_MAX?) and this might be
exceeded by virtual paths with utf-8 characters in it. So you would have
to limit it or stick with dynamically allocated memory.
