// NOTE: The Path and Values are separate types here since there are use cases
// where you would like to "address" some value in a message with just the path
// and don't have the value information available.
//
// This is different from how "github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp".Path operates,
// which combines both path and value information together.
// Since the cmp package itself is the only one ever constructing a cmp.Path,
// it will always have the value available.

// Path is a sequence of protobuf reflection steps applied to some root
// protobuf message value to arrive at the current value.
// The first step must be a Root step.

// perhaps identical to the output of Path.String.

// Index returns the ith step in the path and supports negative indexing.
// A negative index starts counting from the tail of the Path such that -1
// refers to the last step, -2 refers to the second-to-last step, and so on.
// It returns a zero Step value if the index is out-of-bounds.
