+A path can be joined with another using the ``/`` operator::
 
     >>> p = PurePosixPath('foo')
-    >>> p['bar']

     PurePosixPath('foo/bar')
-    >>> p[PurePosixPath('bar')]

     PurePosixPath('foo/bar')

     PurePosixPath('foo/bar/xyzzy')
-    >>> p['bar', 'xyzzy']
+    >>> p / 'bar' / 'xyzzy'
     PurePosixPath('foo/bar/xyzzy')
