For those who objected at the time, can someone put together a list of requirements for the FilePath module you believe we need?
As one of those who objected back then, let me say that I've arrived at the conclusion that the module is fine the way it is for now. I would like an abstract data type plus a set of operations to manipulate paths better, but my motivation is that I'd like to have a module for expressing and handling namespaces in general -- not just filesystem paths. That's a more difficult problem, though, so the lack of a solution for that shouldn't hinder a solution for manipulating file system paths to be implemented. Peter
