join_paths({ "people", "john", "/doe.txt" })
-- windows: "people\\john\\doe.txt"
-- *nix: "people/john/doe.txt"
i.e. handles if slash is present or not, can join any number of path items.

In regards to an override, I think it would be better if we had a convert_path type function that would convert a path to a given format. The reason I think this is:
- It will only be used in specialized situations
- Many other routines that do path manipulation do not provide slash override functionality
- A generic convert_path routine would allow any path to be converted back and forth providing functionality for any path you may be working with.
