I looked at the design. It is very solid and elegant, but I suggest we

Part of the point of the path manipulation routines in dmdz.d was to get around
the fact that dmd/windows doesn't have posix path manipulation. Another part was
to convert from one to the other. I don't think such scenarios are tenuous at
all. As far as abstractions are concerned, though, no idea.
ps Lars, what do you think of my path2list (splits a path into an array [range?]
of the path elements) and its inverse? It looks like it could be implemented
very cleanly in your rewrite.
Absolutely, and I think it would be a useful addition. I think Andrei
is right that it should be lazy, though.
