A long, long time ago, I proposed adding a few more convenience functions to filesystem.

Despite a positive response and a followup patch, those functions never got incorporated. Did it just fall through the cracks, or was there a more substantive reason those functions never got added? Otherwise, it does not seem possible to implement "cp -a".
I'm quite interested in readlink, since it's a prerequisite for uncomplete ( https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1976 ).
