[Boost-users] If *boost::filesystem::path::iterator was mutable it would be considerably more user friendly

Why is *boost::filesystem::path::iterator immutable? If it wasn't transformation of paths would be very user friendly, and we'd be able to leverage all the niceties which already works with iterators. As it is one has to create a ton of temporaries, and common operations which should be one liners becomes a mess. Kind regards, Sebastian Karlsson
