How about having a class XPath as a parameter to find, and an
(explicit) constructor from std::string to XPath?  That way, one can
write "mynode.find(XPath(my_xpath_string));" if one have a string.

Also, the XPath constructor could (in the future) actually parse the
xpath, so that doesn't have to be done for every find().
