That checking is done by the FileSystem#getPath method so you attempt to 
create a method a Path with invalid path characters or syntax then it 
throws InvalidPathException. Note that this checking is done at the 
level of the operating system's definition of paths. You may encounter 
volumes (or FileStores in this API) that are more restrictive, in which 
case you will create a Path but perhaps fail when you later go to access 
the file.
