My bad, I finally figured out that above usage is not the intended use
of append. Can this be registered as a feature request, I think it
will be very convenient to have this.

Also, I am now trying this to achieve the same effect:

for(fs::wpath::iterator
i=input_path.begin()+7;i!=input_path.end();i++) output_path/=(*i);

While i++ works, i+7 doesn't works as basic_path::iterator does not
implements advance(). Is there some specific reason for not having it?
