Hello!

Is there a way to determine access mode for arbitrary file using 
boost::filesystem?
I searched through the documentation and source code, but didn't find 
such functions
in boost::filesystem.

I'm looking for simple functions like:
bool is_readable(const std::string& path)
bool is_writable(const std::string& path)
bool is_executable(const std::string& path)

I also want to determine OS-dependent access rights flags (such as 
setuid and setgid
in Unix). Is it possible with boost::filesystem?
I don't want to use low-level stat() function and check for S_ISUID and 
S_ISGID.

Thank you beforehand!
