  * This instance of dub should not read any environment variables,

+ * Note that since the design of Dub was centered on the file system for so long,
+ * `NativePath` is still a core part of how one interacts with this class.
+ * In order to be as close to the production code as possible, this class
+ * use the following conventions:
+ * - The project is located under `/dub/project/`;
+ * - The user and system packages are under `/dub/user/packages/` and
+ *   `/dub/system/packages/`, respectively;
+ * Those paths don't need to exists, but they are what one might see
+ * when writing and debugging unittests.
