+-- | The 'joinFileName' function is the opposite of 'splitFileName'.
+-- It joins directory and file names to form a complete file path.
+--
+-- The general rule is:
+--
+-- > dir `joinFileName` basename == path
+-- > where
+-- > (dir,basename) = splitFileName path
+--
+-- There might be an exceptions to the rule but in any case the
+-- reconstructed path will refer to the same object (file or directory).
+-- An example exception is that on Windows some slashes might be converted
+-- to backslashes.
