+The `Path` type represents file paths in the underlying filesystem. Across all
+platforms there is a single `std::path::Path` that abstracts over
+platform-specific path semantics and separators. Bring it into scope with
+`use std::path::Path;` when needed.
 
 A `Path` can be created from an `OsStr`, and provides several methods to get
 information from the file/directory the path points to.
