I don't think we need to consolidate pathname and include libraries in order to make collections like the proposed (ported ---) one. Such collection will be using such functionality privately and it can be changed in the future without affecting public use of the collection. Some basic pathname and include functionality for private use is very easy to make, so I don't think the (ported ---) collection should be held-up waiting for us to attempt to design The Pathname and Include Libraries Everything Should Use. -- : Derick ----------------------------------------------------------------
