That's because of what I said: the standard can't agree on what a file is during compilation. The compiler need not be running on a C++ hosted system, or on a system that has a file system in the first place, so use of std::filesystem to represent source code is technically "wrong". > More things to look forward to when we eventually get to C++20 ... For me, the one I'm most looking for is also one of the simplest: std::span.
