"Implied" but then Zaks was formative for me.

Substitute "Jews" for "Muslims". Seems like a career-ending thing to say, right?

Prediction: in five years, that's the mainstream GOP position.

Frankly I am amazed that the cops let the coin toss stand. More innocent times, I guess.

Ah, but Amy, this is America! It really ought to be handled like explosives: while blackout drunk, shirtless, and smoking Camel unfiltereds!

I can imagine a division operator that would make sense: if the divisor appears within the dividend as a path component, return a tuple of Paths (or lists of Paths) representing the part before the divisor and the part after.

But that's a function I would use a lot less than concatenation.

I dunno, I feel like this is a valid case of operator overloading, in that divison has no meaning for a Path object; you might as well redefine the __div__ method to do *something* useful

But I guess I'll also agree that it's kind of twee and pretentious.

only in pathlib.Path, right? I mean, *I* think it kinda makes sense there.

We’re in operations now, so time for me to follow through on that promise.
