Pathnames and the separator for pathname components should be abstracted
away, to a pathname object. This pathname object could have a "path" or
"directory" slot which is a list of directory components (strings). Then
there would be method like "to_namestring" which converts a pathname
object to native pathname string. It takes care of any platform-specific
stuff like pathname component separators. Of course "to_pathname" method
is needed too. It converts system's native pathname string to a pathname
object.
