[Re: alternatives to overloading '/']

Is there a reason the Path constructor is limited to a single argument?
If it allowed multiple arguments, the following would seem very
straightforward:

p = Path(somePath, user.getFolder(), 'archive', oldPath + ".bak")

I'm usually not much of a purist, but C++ has convinced me that
overloading an operator to mean something entirely unrelated to its
mathematical meaning can be very unwise.

Regards,
Nick C.
