And if someone wants to define a "new" and "better" FilePath type, I would prefer something more abstract, such as a list of Path components, with functions to serialize it as a String and to parse it from a String.
A list of path components is just not enough, I'm afraid. What about extensions? What about drives? If you want an abstract type it will probably need to be entirely abstract, rather than with some exposed structure.
