Er, sorry, I mean Dave (I'm sure people knew who I meant). You. :)
"David" is fine. But I can't imagine what makes you think I didn't believe there were issues preventing people from using boost::filesystem.
Anyway, hopefully I didn't misrepresent a statement of yours.
You musta, somehow.
I was referring to your message to Carlo Wood where you stated: "...I'm among them. However, I have a hard time articulating what I found difficult about the library, other than that the path portability checks seemed to get in my way. If there's something deeper going on, I'd like to hear your opinion of what it is..."
In that message I was just saying that I have a hard time with some design elements of boost::filesystem, but have a hard time formulating cogent arguments about them.
It was this message that I believe I originally replied to stating that internationalization support was an issue (for my company at least).
