Hi,

|RCR: String./ could concatenate paths, like File.join.

|Examples:
|prefix = '/usr'/'local'
|  #=> "/usr/local"
|prefix/'bin'
|  #=> "/usr/local/bin"
|source_prefix/'linux-'+source_version/'.config'
|  #=> "/usr/src/linux-2.2.18/.config"

Although it appears attracrive, I don't think it's a good idea to tie
File path and String too much.  Path operation should be tied to File,
not String.
