Like a good American low-information voter, I'll cast my ballot without
having read PEP 428.

-1 Definitely not intuitive.

+0.  IMHO, the most intuitive, but causes problems when you just want
to tack on an extension, er, suffix.  I guess if PathObj + str works
it's not so bad.

>- `p / q` joins path q to path p

+0.  Cute!  Too *nix centric?

>- `p.join(q)` joins path q to path p

-0.  Explicit (yay), but a bit verbose (boo).  Maybe this should be the
default underlying API, with one of the above as nice syntactic sugar?
