I'm guessing it's a bit more complicated than that. In February Beman (author
of filesystem) was working on a proposal for this which was to be discussed at
the Sydney meeting. See
http://listarchives.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg60389.php
You can find a copy of it here:

Apparently he didn't finish in time because he left internationalization as an
open issue (see the bottom of the previous link). I'm not certain what's
happened to Beman -- he hasn't posted lately -- hopefully he or someone else
can update the state of the work.
