I've created ticket #1936 with the above.
There are two perspectives to consider at this issue.
* As a very specific tweak to the current interface.
* As a further indication that there should be a single path type that can handle both wide and narrow types. Peter Dimov suggested that once, and I keep turning over in my mind how it could be accomplished. With C++0x supplying two new character types, the need becomes more pressing. I still don't want to invent a solution that applies only to filesystem paths; there is a general need for strings that can cope with multiple character types and encodings.
Thanks. I don't think that this tweak is that much specific, though. I think it is rather in line with the rest of STL interfaces that try to be type-generic. Thanks again. -- Alexei Alexandrov
