Depending on what you're trying to do with paths, you may want to construct
File objects and then get the paths from them. For example,
(let [home (File. "/Users/Bill")
bashrc (File . home ".bashrc")]
(.getPath bashrc))
I think that tends to be less cumbersome than stringing path components
together directly.
