Notes on testing
This affects all places
standardizePath
is used, and class librarycompilation. I don't know for certain whether the old behavior is
maintained under all cases. Here are the cases that do stay the same:
I'm not enough of a macOS filesystem expert to know if there are corner
cases this misses. It's really unfortunate that this code now has to do a full
string compare when we previously had a bool; if anyone can find a
better way please let me know!
If this goes into 3.10.1 (which i would expect it to) I would say this
change alone warrants a beta release so any obvious failings can be
caught.
