Hi,

  I've recentely tried using winstl::filesystem_traits<char> to delete and
rename some files, and it's very cool.
However, I was surprised that it only accepts char_type const* argument, and
not e.g. std::string or even better winstl::path.
STLSoft's conversion abilities (shims?) are well documented. Is there a reason
they are not applied here?

Thanks,
Adi

As always, a high priority is given to (avoiding) coupling. But let me consider
whether we can make the improvements you suggest
without damaging modularity overly.

(Remind me about this if you hear nothing before the new year.)
