Hi Benjamin,

Should I file a bug? Or am I completely misguided? I can't comment on whether filesystem::path should be extended to work with
boost hash, but I wanted to point out that you could supply your own
hashing object (not boost hash, but using hash_combine) without needing to
do anything in the boost namespace. That would work now and in the
possible future where filesystem::path supports boost::hash.
See <
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/doc/html/unordered/hash_equality.html>.
The patch Daniel James attached to the ticket you referenced is probably a
good starting point for implementing something like that.
HTH,
Nate
