The only use I can see is that you at run-time can ensure that some application generated paths (e.g. path(root / "mysubdir")) are portable but why base an entire library on such a small thing.
It's a big thing to me.
It's clear there are two usage models, then, because I have the same experience as Martin does. It's unfortunate that the filesystem library is biased towards one model and makes the other one difficult to work with. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
