Escape Hatches

Use escape hatches sparingly and deliberately.

• Borrow strict view from virtual: vpath.as_unvirtual() (preferred for shared helpers).
• Ownership conversions:
  • StrictPath::virtualize() → VirtualPath
  • VirtualPath::unvirtual() → StrictPath
  • StrictPath::unstrict() → PathBuf (avoid unless you truly need an owned PathBuf)
• Avoid chaining escape hatches in application code. If you must own a PathBuf, isolate it in a clearly-marked narrow scope.
