I have a certain boost::filesystem::path in hand and I'd like to append a string (or path) to it.

boost::filesystem::path p("c:\\dir");
p.append(".foo"); // should result in p pointing to c:\dir.foo

The only overload boost::filesystem::path has of append wants two InputIterators.

My solution so far is to do the following:

boost::filesystem::path p2(std::string(p.string()).append(".foo"));

Am I missing something?
