We discussed that yesterday in the modern C++ sub-group, too.

The consensus there was more or less that if people use std::filesystem,
they can interface with Qt/KDE via the overloads Qt provides, e.g. for 
QFile

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfile.html

and others and we should not start to add overloads or extra 
slots/signals
with std::filesystem overloads to Frameworks.
