…thonGH-32193) 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNC)) - 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. (cherry picked from commit 78f1a43) Co-authored-by: Oleg Iarygin <oleg@arhadthedev.net>
