Description: Documentation for pathlib says: Spurious slashes and single dots are collapsed, but double dots ('..') are not, since this would change the meaning of a path in the face of symbolic links: However, it omits that initial double slashes also aren't collapsed. Later, in documentation of PurePath.drive, PurePath.root, and PurePath.name it mentions UNC but: this abbreviation says nothing to a person who is unaware about existence of UNC (Wikipedia doesn't help either by giving a disambiguation page) it shows up only if a person needs to use a specific property or decides to fully learn what the module provides. For context, see the BPO entry. https://bugs.python.org/issue47161 Automerge-Triggered-By: GH:brettcannon
