If you want useful directory/filename handling functions in Icon,
why not take perl as a prime example ?
File::Spec and friends, in recent perl functions, provide everything
that's needed to make filename analysis/reconstruction a breeze...
independently of the OS involved, which is the whole point, since
any of those functions is trivial for one given OS.
