How would you feel about adding the '/' binary operator and the

The
operators would behave the same way as they do with
boost::filesystem::path objects:

-appends
In short (and omitting some details) code such as:
string s = "C:\\Users" / "John";
...would be the same as:
string s = "C:\\Users" ~ std.path.dirSeparator ~ "John";
That's what std.path.buildPath is for.

Oh, I hadn't noticed that function. I don't know about its
behaviour of dropping path components situated before a rooted
path component. Throwing an Exception would seem like a better
behaviour in that situation.
