+-- The user of this library is tasked with picking sensible names of
+-- directories/files on a path, such that the resulting 'FsPath' remains
+-- relative to the HasFS instance root. For example, an @'FsPath' ["/"]@ would
+-- try to access the root folder, which is most likely outside of the scope of
+-- the HasFS instance. Amongst others, the following should hold:
+-- * Names are non-empty
+-- * Names are monotonic, i.e., they are not equal to @..@
+-- * Names should not contain path separators or drive letters
