Comment (by nickm):

 I don't see anything wrong with it, but I wasn't able to look super close.
 Still, that's an improvement over the big pile of nothing that's
 documented in path-spec.txt today.  Soooo, merging!


 We still need to write down our best guess as to what the path selection
 algorithm **should** be, of course.
