Question: what should path("foo//bar//").string() yield?
1) "foo//bar//" 2) "foo/bar/" 3) "foo/bar/."
I personally prefer 2, and already filter these beasties using the string_algo library when I get them from environment variables.
Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen these in practice.
Although, I've been told the multiple slashes are required by our legacy nut-cracker laden dlls that front-end a fairly old version of gnumake. I've no idea why they are needed though.
That makes me nervous. Is there any chance you could find out why they are/were needed? Thanks, --Beman
