A few path related functions for ease of future functionality have been added.

  • joinpath: joins the given paths according to the platform's path-separator.
  • operator(/): as was suggested in the Fortran discourse here an operator is also provided for the same functionality
  • splitpath: splits the path following the last path-separator and returns the head and tail.
  • basename: just returns the tail of splitpath
  • dirname: just returns the head of splitpath

The pathsep parameter contains either / or \ depending on the platform and is a compile-time constant now, so is the parameter, ISWIN

Do let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for the PR, @wassup05. Just a minor point (not related to functionality) about examples for now: It's always useful - esp. for those learning by examples - to have an idea of the expected output. Other stdlib examples add the expected print results as a comment below the respective commands. I would recommend to do the same here.
