Phillip,
I agree with your arguments about using objects for paths. I think that,
as usual, they are well reasoned and persuasive.
But :)
In the case of paths, I'd like to stick with unicode strings for the
simple reasons that:
- People are very accustomed to using strings to express paths,
- Paths are used all over the place, so it should be really easy
to express them,
- Paths will often be used in places where it's inconventient to
call constructors to create objects.
I would like to stop using sequences as an alternate canonical
representation. I think that this was a mistake on my part in the
first place.
Does anybody want to try to take this refactoring job on before
the alpha?
Jim
