It's a breaking change and I don't know if there's a way to do it with proper deprecation⦠my hope is that there are not many users of it, but I haven't checked yet. Any opinions among users of FileSystem? On 8 October 2016 at 19:12, stepharo <stepharo@free.fr> wrote:

(Path from: aString) parses the unix/url representation of a path and results in a Path instance. As far as I understand, #fullName should be the symmetric of that, so that we always have (modulo syntactic normalization, maybe) :
(Path from: aString) fullName = aString
Note that there's an edge case with the empty string that is wrong (at least it should be confusing to unix guys):
Path from: ''. "Path root"
Usually the absolute path for the root of the filesystem is explicitly noted '/', and an empty path is equivalent to '.'
