Oops, sorry. Because your feature request came in on a different channel than the others (my GitHub inbox), I completely forgot about it. normalize() is different -- it changes '/' to '\' on Windows, but it doesn't do anything with '\' on POSIX, since the backslash is a perfectly valid filename character on that platform. Basically, Andrej has requested I add a toNativePath function which replaces all occurrences of '/' in a string with '\' on Windows, and vice versa on POSIX. Thinking some more about it, I personally don't think I'll find this very useful, but I am interested in hearing others' opinions. Does anyone else think toNativePath should be included? -Lars
