Comment:

 Does anyone know what the status of this feature request is? Is anyone
 working on it? I have run into a situation where I need something like a
 `basic_path_traits` template in order to ''not'' have to copy a huge
 template definition just to create specializations for `char` and
 `wchar_t`.

 Beman, I read your
 [http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/05/137616.php message in the
 Boost mailing list] and I do not see why you are talking about character
 encodings. Granted, I have not looked into the code of Boost Filesystem
 and I am not familiar with its internal workings, but would you mind
 elaborating on the issue involved here?
