A standardized pathnames package for Ada 2005?

[Bill Findlay <yaldnifw@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Is there any work on / interest in a package to make it easy to synthesize
and analyze compound (path) names?

This crops up a lot, not only as Windows or Unix filenames,
but with things like Tcl widget names.

It might usefully be generic, on parameters such as the max. length of a
nodename, the max. length of the full pathname, the nodename separator,
whether there is a distinguished root nodename and its separator, etc.

Should it handle little-endian pathnames, with the root at the right,
like Internet domain names?
