Milestone:  To Be Determined                              |   Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.50.0                                  |    Severity:  Problem

----------------------------------------------------------+-----------------
 The Boost 1.50 filesystem reference says that filesystem::path has methods
 u16string(), generic_u16string(), u32string() and generic_u32string(), but
 they don't exist in the code. MS Visual Studio 2010's C++ compiler can't
 find them, and a grep of the boost::filesystem source doesn't find them
 either. Please either implement these methods or remove them from the
 docs.

 (My preference would be that you implement these methods, and also, for
 completeness, add u8string() and generic_u8string(), which would return
 UTF-8 instead of using the current locale.)
