Well...the man page says "enca -- detect and convert encoding of text
files" and we are talking about file names not the contents of the
file.  I think the problem with detection of the encoding of the file
name...and even a text tile contents is that if the number of characters
is small (i.e. small sample size) the detection is prone to error.
