pathname2

https://github.com/djberg96/pathname2

The pathname2 library provides an implementation of the Pathname class different from the one that ships as part of the Ruby standard library. It is a subclass of String, though several methods have been overridden to better fit a path context. In addition, it supports file URL's as paths, provides additional methods for Windows paths, and handles UNC paths on Windows properly. See the README file for more details.
