+The `pathlib` module provides methods to get and check for the existence of sub-paths (files, directories, and links) within a given path.

+path.sub_get(name:"mysub_file.md", name_fix_find:true, name_fix:true)!

+path.sub_exists(name:"my_sub_dir")!

+// Check if a file exists
+path.file_exists("my_file.txt")
+
+// Check if a file exists (case-insensitive)
