/// A comprehensive, cross-platform path manipulation library.
///
/// ## Installing ##
///
/// Use [pub][] to install this package. Add the following to your
/// `pubspec.yaml` file.
///
///     dependencies:
///       path: any
///
/// Then run `pub install`.
///
/// For more information, see the [path package on pub.dartlang.org][pkg].
///
/// [pub]: http://pub.dartlang.org
/// [pkg]: http://pub.dartlang.org/packages/path
///
/// ## Usage ##
///
/// The path library was designed to be imported with a prefix, though you don't
/// have to if you don't want to:
///
///     import 'package:path/path.dart' as path;
///
/// The most common way to use the library is through the top-level functions.
/// These manipulate path strings based on your current working directory and
/// the path style (POSIX, Windows, or URLs) of the host platform. For example:
///
///     path.join("directory", "file.txt");
///
/// This calls the top-level [join] function to join "directory" and "file.txt"
/// using the current platform's directory separator.
///
/// If you want to work with paths for a specific platform regardless of the
/// underlying platform that the program is running on, you can create a
/// [Context] and give it an explicit [Style]:
///
///     var context = new path.Context(style: Style.windows);
///     context.join("directory", "file.txt");
///
/// This will join "directory" and "file.txt" using the Windows path separator,
/// even when the program is run on a POSIX machine.
