 Currently filesystem::path_traits doesn't have imbue() method while
 wpath_traits
 has. Thus, there is explicit assumption that external and internal
 encodings for
 path are the same.

 But this is not true sometimes. For example, currently it doesn't seem to
 be
 possible to use filesystem::path conveniently on Linux in cases when
 internal
 encoding of the application is UTF-8 while system encoding might differ
 from
 UTF-8 (GB2312, for example).
