Proposal for std.path replacement

[Andrej Mitrovic]

I dunno, maybe I'd prefer an enum.

enum path : string { current = ".", up = ".." };

main() { string newPath = join("C:", "Windows", "Subdir", path.up,
path.up, "Program Files");
newPath == r"C:\Windows\Subdir\..\..\Program Files";

This is just nitpicking however. And 'current' is only used on Linux afaik? :)
