Here's a new update based on your comments and requests. Code and docs
are in the usual place,
https://github.com/kyllingstad/phobos/blob/std-path/std/path.d
http://www.kyllingen.net/code/std-path/phobos-prerelease/std_path.html
Here are the highlights:
* UNC paths, i.e. \\server\share\..., are now (hopefully) handled
correctly on Windows. See the baseName(), dirName(), rootName(),
driveName(), pathSplitter(), etc. docs for examples.
* Support for //foo/bar paths on POSIX has been removed.
* rootName() is new.
* pathSplitter() now returns a bidirectional range.
* pathCharMatch() and fcmp() have been replaced by improved functions
filenameCharCmp() and filenameCmp(), respectively, with optional case
sensitivity.
* joinPath() has been renamed to buildPath().
* Added a function buildNormalizedPath(), which performs normalization
while joining the segments.
* Redefined normalize() in terms of buildNormalizedPath().
I am still unsure of the extent to which long UNC paths (i.e. \\?\...)
should be supported, if at all. If anyone has anything to say on the
matter, please do. :)
