  The class is designed to handle the operating system dependent differences of the file paths.
  
  On Windows the file API for std::string and const char* is for ANSI characters.
  It is unable to handle valid file path characters, such as Asian characters.
  It is necessary to use the file API for std::wstring and const wchar_t*, which uses Unicode.
  
  On other operating system the file API for std::string and const char* is for UTF-8 characters.
