My impression of '+', is it always join like objects...
str+str -> str
list+list -> list
tuple+tuple -> tuple
So ...
path+path -> path
In all current cases, (that I know of), of differing types, '+' raises
an error.
Question: Is a path object mutable?
Would the += operator create an new object or modify the original?
p = path('C://somedir//somefile')
p+='.zip' what would this do?
p[-1]+='.zip' Or this?
