In the comments where you say that it doesn't perform any IO you
should add these functions. Speaking of which can we add a template
called normalize (maybe you can come up with a better name) that does
what canonical does but doesn't make it absolute. E.g.:

version(windows) assert(normilize("dir/file") == "dir\\file");
version(windows) assert(normilize("dir/./file") == "dir\\file");
//etc
