pathlib lets you do operations on paths. It also gives you a string 
representation of the path that's expected to designate that path when 
talking to operating system APIs. It doesn't give you the possibility to 
store other semantic variations ("whether a new directory level must be 
created"); that's up to you to add those.

(similarly, it doesn't have separate classes to represent "a file", "a 
directory", "a non-existing file", etc.)
