Re: [Python-ideas] PEP 428: poll about the joining syntax

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.

• `p + q` joins path q to path p

+0.

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.

• `p / q` joins path q to path p

-1.

• `p.join(q)` joins path q to path p

+0

`p.pathjoin(q)`

+1

It is very explicit and hard to get it wrong.
