      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Usage of java.nio.file.Path is rather cumbersome when resolving multiple constant children against an existing path, e.g.:
        applicationPath.resolve("path").resolve("to").resolve("resource")

      This often leads to developers falling back to hardcoding file path separators just because it is better readable (but also more error-prone).

      java.nio.file.Path should have a `resolve` overload with varargs String, either:
        - Path.resolve(String... others)
        - Path.resolve(String other, String... others)

      (This was originally mentioned in JDK-6878345 as well, but was apparently not implemented)
