// by purely lexical processing. It applies the following rules
// iteratively until no further processing can be done:
//
// 1. Replace multiple slashes with a single slash.
// 2. Eliminate each . path name element (the current directory).
// 3. Eliminate each inner .. path name element (the parent directory)
// along with the non-.. element that precedes it.
// 4. Eliminate .. elements that begin a rooted path:
// that is, replace "/.." by "/" at the beginning of a path.
//
// If the result of this process is an empty string, Clean
// returns the string ".".
