#2439: A basic_path can not be instantiated easily based solely on a string type

     Type:  Feature Requests              |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0                  |   Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0                  |    Severity:  Cosmetic  
 Keywords:  basic_path basic_path_traits  |  
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 Although the filesystem basic_path<> template can take a string type as
 the first template parameter, the second template parameter, which is the
 basic_path_traits, needs a specific hardcoded supplied trait. This means
 that the basic_path can not be directly instantiated by choosing just a
 string type. This suggestion is that the filesystem basic_path_traits be a
 template itself which takes a string type. This would allow the basic_path
 to be instantiated based solely on a string type.
