Hello,

Since there has been some controversy about the joining syntax used in PEP 428 (filesystem path objects), I would like to run an informal poll about it. Please answer with +1/+0/-0/-1 for each proposal:

• `p[q]` joins path q to path p

-1 Counter intuitive

• `p + q` joins path q to path p

-1 Confusion with strings

• `p / q` joins path q to path p

+1 Matches (unix) file separator, no confusion with strings

• `p.join(q)` joins path q to path p

-1 Confusion with strings again

p.pathjoin(q) +0

Cheers, Mark
