// data structure.

// taking a single step down into a data structure.

// but callers can also feel free to just produce a slice of PathStep manually
// and convert to this type, which may be more appropriate in environments
// where memory pressure is a concern.

// Although a Path is technically mutable, by convention callers should not
// mutate a path once it has been built and passed to some other subsystem.
// Instead, use Copy and then mutate the copy before using it.
