Subject: File path operations?

Ruby has an abstract File/path type which is nice (I'm mainly a Python  
user and it doesn't), but it doesn't seem to provide object-oriented  
methods to combine file paths, i.e. I can't go path3 = path1/path2 or  
something similar. Instead, I have to use the join function, which is  
much less elegant, IMHO. Am I missing something. Has someone written  
an extension to File that adds such path operations?

Thanks,
Ken
