I disagree. We've headed off down the rabbit-hole of filenames for
justification here, but surely pathlib is the correct tool if you are
going to be chopping up filenames and path names?
Does pathlib work correctly for paths in unknown (and mixed) encodings?
Personally, I'm happy to consider filenames in an arbir=tray encoding "broken", but I don't write the kind of system tools where you can't do that.
But anyway, it's a bi tof red herring -- as others' posted -- if the "byte slingers" would find it useful, then that's all we need to know.
