Feature #9625: Define `Pathname#/` to append to the path

How about borrowing this definition from Homebrew project:

class Pathname
  def / that
    join that.to_s
  end
end

Looks nice to me.

Didn't this exist once and was later taken out? I have a dim (possibly
false) memory of this.

I feel this proposal is acceptable.

[alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov)]

I am not sure, however, if the type conversion .to_s is a good idea: i think it will be easier to remember if #/ will be just a synonyme of #join, and would help to catch some bugs early.

+1 This is a no-brainer.
