std::filesystem is useless because like so many platform abstractions it doesn't handle the last 1% correctly.

IMO the C++ standard should focus platform-agnostic functionality and leave the nitty gritty platform interaction to standalone libraries that can be patched and/or replaced as needed.

Why does that make it useless? paths can be converted to basic_strings for passing to platform-specific functions to handle that 1%.
