I'm not convinced this is the right approach here, since cout << mypath << ' ' << myint; doesn't roundtrip with cin >> mypath >> myint; the way I expect operator<< and operator>> to work. Perhaps the portable pathname grammar could be extended to allow backslash-escaping of spaces and backslashes? That or remove the stream operators entirely and force people to choose which way they want to print the path and deal with the result as a fully-general string.
