A path is always a Unicode string, while a DB name can be an arbitrary binary blob. So I don't think that we can treat them the same way.
Not the point. A program which uses LDMB can choose to treat its own DB names in its own LMDB environments as the same kind of strings as filenames (WCHAR, UTF-8 char, or whatever). Unless we make that impossible.
As for what LMDB will accept and what it must handle, that's up to us. DB names are not binary blobs yet, after all.
