We really don't want to work with paths as strings: such code is hard to test and maintain. If we need new Path operations (such as merging relative paths), I suggest we create a `PathUtils` class to hold the operations. Then, create unit tests to check all the various conditions: empty head, empty tail, neither empty, etc. Also, in general, we would work with path names as `Path` objects: the job of the `Path` class is do properly implement file path operations, just as the job of the older `File` and newer `Path` classes in Java is to handle OS paths.
