Only possibly-controversial change: joinpath() was described as: "Calling this method is equivalent to indexing the path with each of the other arguments in turn." 'Indexing' is an odd word to use, because you can't subscript Path or PurePath objects, so I changed it to "combining".
You're right, "indexing" dates back to when pathlib used subscripting to combine paths together (e.g. you would write my_path['Lib']['test'] or my_path['Lib/test'] to access the 'Lib/test' subpath of my_path), but now pathlib uses the '/' operator.

Antoine.
