Re: [boost] [Filesystem.v3] Request to rename imbue to something else like global_locale

Hello,

The static member function

boost::filesystem::path::imbue(std::locale const &)

Is very misleading.

In the C++ standard library imbue usually refers to specific object like specific stream and not referred to global object.

I'd recommend, provide static member function

boost::filesystem::path::global_locale

With same semantics as imbue and deprecate imbue.
