Not a very interesting challenge.
"C:\C\foo"
"\C\foo"
"C:\foo"
I assume you mean the portable representation of the native paths:
"/C/C/foo"
"/" + *current_path().begin() + "/C/foo" (**)
"/C/foo"
(**) There is no way to represent "The foo subdirectory of the C
directory of the current drive" portably, because it isn't a portable
concept. Therefore, we could pick other sensible answers for the
middle path, e.g.:
1. Exception is thrown
2. "./C/foo"
3. "/*/C/foo" where '*' is some character not normally allowed
in portable paths.
