To AWS S3, '/' isn't a delimiter, it's a character that's part of the filename.

So for instance "/foo/bar.txt" and "/foo//bar.txt" are different files in S3, even though they'd be the same file in a filesystem.

This gets pretty fun if you want to mirror a S3 structure on-disk, because the above suddenly causes a collision.
