Unexpected result mapping a PathSet

[Daniel Sobral]

I wanted to get the filenames from a PathSet, so I tried doing this:

ps.map(_.name)

That, unexpectedly, doesn't really work. Well, it works, but the result is not a PathSet[String]. Instead, the result is:

scalax.file.PathSet[Comparable[_ >: String with scalax.file.Path <: Comparable[_ >: String with scalax.file.Path <: Comparable[_ >: String with scalax.file.Path <: Object]]]]

It works if I use breakOut, and it works if I transform it into something other than a PathSet first.

Is this truly necessary, or could it be solved by dropping a covariance or moving some implicit to a lower priority?

Hmmm.  THought I already sent this email.  SOrry it is so late:

I can take a look.  One of the reasons for the type signature is to permit the +++, ---, etc... operations.  It is possible (and preferable) to be able to get the PathSet[String] from your example and I will make a ticket to that effect and see if I can make it happen.
