As a reminder, before you create a pull request for the new std.path (which looks like it'll probably make it in via a unanimous vote in favor), you need to replace the aliases for the old functions with the actual old functions (since the behavior has changed for a number of them) and mark them as scheduled for deprecation in their documentation instead of deprecating them. - Jonathan M Davis
