PR #3277 changes g.os_path_finalize and g.os_path_finalize_join. The PR renames these as g.finalize and g.finalize_join, indicating that they do not have counterparts in Python's os.path module.
The PR changes 51 files, but most changes involve only the renaming just discussed.
The PR carefully discusses changes to 5 functions and methods.
I am tempted to merge the PR immediately, but I'll wait just a bit longer.
