What if we drop the Asset all together and make a add method like: | archive.add(Path) | Maybe we then also have to support all the convenience overloads like ? | addManifestResource(Path) | addWebResource(Path) | etc.. | Path should then probably have a isDirectory method, checking if it ends with '/' seems to be common. Could add checks to other add methods so you can't add a Asset to a directory Path, can't get the Asset of a directory path etc..
