Why is *boost::filesystem::path::iterator immutable? If it wasn't
transformation of paths would be very user friendly, and we'd be able
to leverage all the niceties which already works with iterators. As it
is one has to create a ton of temporaries, and common operations which
should be one liners becomes a mess.

Kind regards,
