Tracking issue for Path/PathBuf normalization methods

Tracking rust-lang/rfcs#2208

[akavel]

Umh, sorry, I'm not well versed in Rust RFCs: could you please help me understand how this issue is intended to work, given that the rust-lang/rfcs#2208 it tracks is "closed in favor of 47402 [i.e. this very tracking issue]"? The tracked issue is closed, because a tracking issue is open, but then it points back to the closed tracked issue? So, is this worked on? Is it not? What can I do if I wanted to, say, submit a solution?

for the reference, here's what Cargo uses:

Closing in favor of rust-lang/rfcs#2208, which is the more appropriate place to track this (since we don't have an implementation yet; see my comment there too: rust-lang/rfcs#2208 (comment)).
