I'd like some feedback on what others think about this;
personally, I prefer the current implementation and found it easy to
use for the multitudes of tiny scripts I've written. I wouldn't like
to create an "object" just to call isAbsolute.
That being said, I don't see why having the struct would hurt.
Nice work by the way
Is there any reason why we couldn't keep the string-based free functions
around as well?
I don't have a strong opinion regarding Path object vs. string
functions, and I agree both have advantages and disadvantages. But I
would be opposed to having both.
C# has both:
1. System.IO.FileInfo and System.IO.DirectoryInfo non-static/instance
classes with methods i.e. Delete()
2. System.File and System.Directory static classes with methods accepting
strings i.e. Delete(string name)
