Work-around #3 looks splendidly sufficient to me, let's close this without
further extension-work into this wonderful overload set.

(The versions passing i as the length will do the wrong thing here, because the
array actually contains the empty string "", but I'm just showing examples of
valid syntax that work with VLAs).

I'm not sure we should bother doing anything here. There are various
workarounds possible:

std::filesystem::path p(vla);
std::filesystem::path p({vla, (size_t)i});
std::filesystem::path p = (const char*)vla;
std::filesystem::path p = std::string(vla);
std::filesystem::path p = std::string(vla, i);
std::filesystem::path p = std::string_view(vla);
std::filesystem::path p = std::string_view(vla, i);
