Detailed Description

Short-hand for filesystem namespace.

Rationale for aliasing to boost::filesystem instead of std::filesystem

boost::filesystem is rock-solid and the model/original impl; which is not to say that always is enough to take it over the std:: counterpart. However, some experiences with gcc-7's std::filesystem were negative; it did not exist, and std::experimental::filesystem lacked basic chunks from the standard. This left a bad taste in the mouth; whereas in the author's (ygoldfel) experience Boost's has been great. It is very mature.
