-A comprehensive, cross-platform path manipulation library for Dart.
-
-The path package provides common operations for manipulating paths:
-joining, splitting, normalizing, etc.
-
-We've tried very hard to make this library do the "right" thing on whatever
-platform you run it on, including in the browser. When you use the top-level
-functions, it will assume the current platform's path style and work with
-that. If you want to explicitly work with paths of a specific style, you can
-construct a `path.Context` for that style.
-
-## Using
-
-The path library was designed to be imported with a prefix, though you don't
-have to if you don't want to:
-
-```dart
-import 'package:path/path.dart' as path;
-```
-
-The most common way to use the library is through the top-level functions.
-These manipulate path strings based on your current working directory and
-the path style (POSIX, Windows, or URLs) of the host platform. For example:
-
-```dart
-path.join("directory", "file.txt");
-```
-
-This calls the top-level [join] function to join "directory" and
-"file.txt" using the current platform's directory separator.
-
-If you want to work with paths for a specific platform regardless of the
-underlying platform that the program is running on, you can create a
-[Context] and give it an explicit [Style]:
-
-```dart
-var context = new path.Context(style: Style.windows);
-context.join("directory", "file.txt");
-```
-
-This will join "directory" and "file.txt" using the Windows path separator,
-even when the program is run on a POSIX machine.
-
-## FAQ
-
-### Where can I use this?
-
-Pathos runs on the Dart VM and in the browser under both dart2js and Dartium.
-Under dart2js, it currently returns "." as the current working directory, while
-under Dartium it returns the current URL.
-
-### Why doesn't this make paths first-class objects?
-
-When you have path *objects*, then every API that takes a path has to decide if
-it accepts strings, path objects, or both.
-
- * Accepting strings is the most convenient, but then it seems weird to have
- these path objects that aren't actually accepted by anything that needs a
- path. Once you've created a path, you have to always call `.toString()` on
- it before you can do anything useful with it.
-
- * Requiring objects forces users to wrap path strings in these objects, which
- is tedious. It also means coupling that API to whatever library defines this
- path class. If there are multiple "path" libraries that each define their
- own path types, then any library that works with paths has to pick which one
- it uses.
-
- * Taking both means you can't type your API. That defeats the purpose of
- having a path type: why have a type if your APIs can't annotate that they
- expect it?
-
-Given that, we've decided this library should simply treat paths as strings.
-
-### How cross-platform is this?
-
-We believe this library handles most of the corner cases of Windows paths
-(POSIX paths are generally pretty straightforward):
-
- * It understands that *both* "/" and "\" are valid path separators, not just
- "\".
-
- * It can accurately tell if a path is absolute based on drive-letters or UNC
- prefix.
-
- * It understands that "/foo" is not an absolute path on Windows.
-
- * It knows that "C:\foo\one.txt" and "c:/foo\two.txt" are two files in the
- same directory.
-
-### What is a "path" in the browser?
-
-If you use this package in a browser, then it considers the "platform" to be
-the browser itself and uses URL strings to represent "browser paths".
