"Trying to be" cross-platform? The point of these path modules is to
*be* cross-platform. I can't call Windows APIs on my Linux box (short
of messing around with VMs or Wine or something, which are
dependencies that Python doesn't need). So yes, these *are*
cross-platform, and that's not scary, that's deliberate design.
