+ *   We implement most aspects of paths independently, not relying on
+ * std::path, on the theory that path syntax is such an important part of a
+ * shell that it doesn't make sense to try to integrate with non-Unix syntaxes.
+ * However, we do use std::path to print individual path components, in order
+ * to get the benefit of its functionality for handling non-Unicode filenames.
