#8708: surprising element segmentation

     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+------------------------
 I was shocked today to find that this fails:

 {{{#!cpp
 assert(
     boost::starts_with(
         boost::filesystem::path("/website/public_html/"),
         boost::filesystem::path("/website/")));
 }}}

 The reason is that the 2nd path has 3 elements, {{{"/"}}},
 {{{"website"}}}, and {{{"."}}}.  I found that last one especially
 surprising.
