- Currently, a path ending in '/' will still resolve if it exists,
- even if not a directory. The parent, if specified, must be a
- sequence of (name, item) tuples, and will provide the starting
- point for the resolution of the path. The result may include
- elements of parent directly, so they must not be modified later.
- If this is a concern, pass in "name, copy_item(item) for
- name, item in parent" instead.
