Here's a good example of why I ultimately don't like __div__.  The last
line seems quite non-obvious to me.  It's actually jarring enough that I
have to stop and think about what it means because it /looks/ like
there's math going on.

OTOH, something like:

image = Path('', 'images', name) + ext

or even better

image = Path.join('', 'images', name) + ext

where .join is a staticmethod, seems much clearer.
