[Boost-users] [filesystem] convenience_test.cpp question

Hi,

on studying the boost's files I found in convenience_test.cpp this 
statement:

BOOST_CHECK( fs::extension("a/") == "." );

Why this? IMO it's not clear why this should be correct. This means that 
a leaf path has a file extension. On directory's view this is not equal 
to the current dir notation.

Thanks,
Olaf

BTW, what about the support on hard- and softlinks mentioned in this 
list some times ago?
