Thanks for the feedback, I will read it more thoroughly when I take up
work on std.path again. Just a general comment, though: Having the
exact same functionality on Windows and POSIX just doesn't work, if
nothing else simply because "c:\dir\file" is a valid base name on POSIX.
That is, both ':' and '\' are valid filename characters. The ONLY
invalid filename characters on POSIX are '/' and '\0'.
Yes, weird file names like that may be uncommon, but the library should
be able to handle them nonetheless.

Yeah, that's a good point. I'm sure yet if there is a good way that
could address both issues, I want to think about it more later.
(in Eclipse's IPath this is less of a problem because that API works
with a path data type, not with a path string directly)
