Description
javadoc currently passes around one or more strings to represent a path, and possible the inverse of the path. The strings are supposed to obey an invariant that they end in '/' which complicates  the code and causes issues when the invariant is not valid.

It would be better to introduce a new abstraction to represent such paths.
