small thing: may we introduce

pathOf(String/URI)

?

Is that supposed to be a question?

yep

Well it's not clear at all what you're asking.

sorry, I meant "what about adding `pathOf`"

Still not clear. What should it do?

instead typing

Paths.get()

You want

pathOf

instead of

Paths.get

? That seems a bit ridiculous to me.

arrayOf

and

listOf

exist because arrays and lists are (almost) first-class language concepts.

I don't want that instead of

Paths.get

, I'd like that offered in parallel
