That said, I'd favor an implementation that split on m{/+} and
collapsed as Michael mentioned.

Sounds sensible.  Is canonicalize_path responsible for collapsing
runs of slashes?  What should _collapse_dotdot do to
"c:/.." or "http://www.example.com/.."?

It should probably just return the root path ("c:/" and
"http://www.example.com/" respectively).
