There is nothing to fix in this API IMO. To me, this sounds like a strong indicator, that we should overhaul IO in the following direction: Remove static methods in favour of a few FileSystem objects (Windows, and Linux/Unix/Mac) with different behaviour for case sensitivity, separators, and so on. IO is outdated, as it is. Beginners (like this guy, perhaps) are unable to cope with it. Advanced users find it useless.
