-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 The filesystem component is missing a function to return the path to the
 currently running executable.
 This is useful for finding associated program files without resorting to
 e.g. environmental variables.

 A discussion of the current system-specific ways to do this:
   http://stackoverflow.com/q/1023306 and http://stackoverflow.com/q/933850

 An example of a similar function exists in the Qt library:
 QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath()
