Looks like a great start. One thing that isn't clear: Does a filepath
contain text suitable to pass to a fstream constructor? If not, then
one operation I think should be added:
- Given a filepath, return a char const * suitable for a fstream constructor
on the same vein, it may also be desireable to add this operation:
- Given a filepath, return a path suitable to use with the native
platform file API
