| 15 | <li>Issue (Adrian Martin): >Comparison between paths doesn't use locale.<br> |
|---|
| 16 | ><br> |
|---|
| 17 | >The paths are not treated as plain characters since a lexicographical <br> |
|---|
| 18 | >compare is made. But the individual elements are treated<br> |
|---|
| 19 | >as plain characters and the internal string type's operator< is used. This |
|---|
| 20 | <br> |
|---|
| 21 | >is a bit contradicting. <br> |
|---|
| 22 | ><br> |
|---|
| 23 | >I think the comparison operators should compare the elements in a locale <br> |
|---|
| 24 | >dependent way.<br> |
|---|
| 25 | <br> |
|---|
| 26 | I've opened this as an issue. It needs to be answered in the context of what |
|---|
| 27 | comparison is used for. Remember that equivalence should be determined by the |
|---|
| 28 | equivalent() function. An important use of operator< is when path is used as a |
|---|
| 29 | map or set key. Not sure how locale impacts that.</li> |

| 30 | <li>Move canonize() and normalize() to convenience.hpp?</li> |
|---|
| 31 | <li>Need wording to the effect that basic_path::iterators are invalidated in |
|---|
| 32 | the basic_path object's lifetime ends.</li> |
|---|
| 33 | <li>Move name checks to convenience.hpp?</li> |
|---|
| 34 | <li>Move rename_all to convenience.hpp?</li> |
