I can see the need for generalized 'drive' support that sets an arbitrary path
prefix as the 'drive'. For example, if "/var/tmp/instroot" is a 'drive', then
joining it to "/some/path" returns "/var/tmp/instroot/some/path". However,
subsequently joining that result to "/suffix" would return
"/var/tmp/instroot/suffix". The "/some/path" part is replaced by "/suffix".
This doesn't match your example to lstrip('/') from paths joined with the
proposed `//` operator.
