This is similar to how NSURL on macOS/iOS accesses the filesystem in its constructor: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurl/1410301-init https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurl/1... “ This method assumes that path is a directory if it ends with a slash. If path does not end with a slash, the method examines the file system to determine if path is a file or a directory.” People often overlook this and then wonder why their app stutters randomly when the UI thread gets blocked on this NSURL ctor :^)
