Yup :-)
But maybe it would make sense to both use the same name for this
library? Users are unlikely to be able to link with -lstdc++fs -lc++fs
at the same time, so if we had the same name they wouldn't have to
have conditionals in their makefiles depending on the implementation
being used.
For example, every UNIX-like OS has libc, libpthread, librt, libnsl,
etc. with common names, not libgnuc/libbsdc/libsunc etc.
