I don't mind much having paths as strings, except for one thing:

What I dislike currently is that std.path always implement the OS filesystem path syntax. In some code dealing with the web I had to implement my own path functions to deal with URL paths (using std.path would break on Windows). So having distinct types to deal with different kinds of paths would probably be helpful.

That said, perhaps handling of URIs doesn't belong in std.path...
