Comment:
Also, boost::fstream is implemented as a wrapper over std::fstream (it
uses a std::fstream object internally), which means that if any changes to
'mode' value are indeed needed, then the std::fstream::open() can do that
internally. I am unable to see the reason for boost's wrapper to change
its value before passing it to std::fstream.
(We are using boost's fstream because it lets us directly use wpath
filenames which is is huge convenience compared to using std::fstream's
char*)
