Proposed resolution:

Change 8.4.3 [path.append]:

Effects:

Appends path::preferred_separator to pathname unless:

an added separator would be redundant, or

would change an relative path to an absolute path [Note: An empty path is relative. — end note], or

p.empty(), or

*p.native().cbegin() is a directory separator.

Then appends p.native() to pathname.

The second bullet item is supposed to deal with the empty() condition.

Addresses: filesys.ts

Is the added separator redundant in p1 /= p2, where p1 is empty? I.e. does the result start with a separator?

Suggested action:

Specify what behaviour is required.
