Would it be perhaps possible to provide a lower-level function (even in the 
detail namespace) that uses a plain char buffer and an error code, that is 
free of std::vectors, std::strings, boost::paths, system::error_codes and 
other things one might not want to pay for (especially if one does not use 
them otherwise) just to make a system API call..? The 'proper' version can 
then wrap the thinner one...
