Differences to the python library API

+ Addition | - Removal | $ Change

• - There are no PureXPath base classes.
• - No PureXPath base classes.
• - No inheritance tree.
• $ Most operations/functions are D module functions but can be called as if they were members (thanks to D's unified function call syntax UFCS).
• $ as_posix() => posixData().
• + asPosix() to convert between different paths.
• + asNormalized() to normalize a path, without resolving it. This works for all types of paths, regardless of the current system.
• as_posix() => posixData(). Additionally, there is also windowsData().
• $ Instead of overloading operator /, the concatenation operator ~ is overloaded instead: Path("hello") ~ "world" ~ "goodBye // WindowsPath("hello\\world\\goodBye") or PosixPath("hello/world/goodBye")
• $ Instead of suffix() and suffixes() there are extension(), extensions(), and fullExtension().
• $ While pythons pathlib usually uses '/' as the path segment separator, we try to maintain the separator for the current type of path as much as possible.
• $ glob() does not (yet?) support recursive patterns such as "**/*.cpp". Use rglob() for this instead.
