I think most people would understand "io" as an abbreviation with no real potential for confusion. (And if they are confused, I hate to think what they will think an "iostream" is.) If the stuff ever made it into the standard, then you'd get "std::io" which would make ex-C programmers happy too.
and yet...I associate 'io' with reading and writing, i.e. things related to some *content*, while in boost::filesystem we are more talking about content *containers* and how to deal with them. Regards, Stefan
