From the manual page on std.path.buildPath:

    writeln(buildPath("foo", "bar", "baz")); // "foo/bar/baz"
    writeln(buildPath("/foo/", "bar/baz")); // "/foo/bar/baz"
    writeln(buildPath("/foo", "/bar")); // "/bar"

I have no idea what drugs the person who chose that last one to be
correct semantics was on at the time, but it was some seriously bad
stuff.

"If any of the path segments are absolute (as defined by isAbsolute),
the preceding segments will be dropped."

I cannot find any excuse for this to be even remotely reasonable.
