personally I like:

require_directory(const path& ph)

but that has a more limited meaning.   One question though, should there be 
two different methods for creating a single directory and one with all its 
parents?  Would something like:

require_directory(const path& ph, createparents=false)

suffice?

Kind regards,

henry
