Would it be possible to have some constructors (or static functions) to create a path from an UTF-8 or UTF-16 string?
UTF-16 via wchar_t is already supported for Windows (and possibly other environments) where wchar_t a UTF-16 type.
Also, UTF-16 will be supported for all c++0x compilers via char16_t strings.
UTF-8 strings are already supported for environments like Mac OS X where UTF-8 is the default narrow string encoding.
UTF-8 strings are already supported for all environments, via path::imbue().
Temporary use of any locale is already supported via class scoped_path_locale.
Is this thread-safe?
Now it would also be possible to provide a constructor, etc, that takes a locale, but is that worth cluttering the interface? I went back and forth, on that, but the use cases I could think of were not very compelling.
