All functions have nice names except fcmp, why the abbreviation?
Is expandTilde supposed to work on Windows? I've never seen tilde used
there.
The docs say that it does nothing on Windows: "For Windows, expandTilde()
merely returns its argument inputPath."
This is probably for the best because the Windows equivilent to "/home/user"
can be one of a number of different locations depending on what exactly
you're storing. If expandTilde did work on Windows, then no matter what it
expanded to, it would be wrong at least half the time.
What about longname becoming longna~1 on dos/emulators etc. Expanding
this back needs information about the actual state of the file system so
I don't now if such a function belongs to std.path but a longname.png =>
longna~1.png belongs IMO to std.path .
