+0, looks like a unix path although others will have issues

+1, especially if `p.join(*q)`, strongly reminiscent of os.path.join
(which I often import "bare" in path-heavy code), I don't think the
common naming with str.join is an issue anymore than it is for
threading.Thread.join.

same as `join`, although more of a +0.9 as it's longer without
benefits.
