If Path is intended to be platform independent, then these two paths could represent the same location:

and be impossible on Windows. So what's the canonical path it should be converted to?
Are these actual valid paths?  I thought Linux used '/' and Mac used ':'.

"c:d" is a valid directory name on Linux. :]

Right. I didn't phrase that at all well. In Steven's examples, which are the path pieces? I'm guessing

'a', 'b', 'c:d', 'e'; and
'a', 'b', 'c/d', 'e'.
