Hello @ExE-Boss 

> It might be better to have a (Path...)Path

Do you mean introducing:

default Path resolve(Path... more) {
...
}

If so, then it would allow calls like:


Path p = ...
p.resolve();

(i.e. calling resolve without any parameter)
I think that would be odd and wrong for the API to allow that.
