### Paths on Windows ###
On Windows there are many ways of specifying a path to a file system resource.
Both absolute paths like `C:\path\to\wherever`, and relative paths like
`..\wherever` can be used, and path separator can be either
`\` (as in `C:\path\to\wherever`) or `/` (as in `C:/path/to/wherever`).
Local paths can be absolute, like `C:\path\to\wherever`, or relative,
like `..\wherever`. Network paths in UNC format, `\\server\share`, are also supported.
Path separator can be either `\` (as in `C:\path\to\wherever`) or `/` (as in `C:/path/to/wherever`).
Length of these paths are limited to 259 characters for files and 247
characters for directories, but there is an alternative extended-length
path format increasing the limit to (approximately) 32,767 characters.
