[kevincox (Kevin Cox)]

  Rust has platform independent types `PathBuf` <https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html> and `&Path` <https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/path/struct.Path.html> for paths and `OsString` <https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ffi/struct.OsString.html> and `&OsStr` <https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ffi/struct.OsStr.html> for strings (owned and references respectively. They do have os-specific extensions but as long as you don't use them it should be cross platform. That being said, if you are serializing and deserializing them you may need to write some platform dependant code.
