I think, this is listed as example in PEP 428.
I had to look it up to understand. Not intuitive (to me atleast) as join.

I would be +1. But in the PEP you have listed that we need a way
separate path behaviors from confusing with builtins
Though it provides a lot of convenience, it can be confused with str
behaviors or other object behaviors.

+1

It is very explicit and hard to get it wrong.
