Re: "posix" variable modifier doesn't exist?

It does not work with File or Entry either.

If I use the undocumented get_subst_proxy() function on the file object
before using the .posix modifier, then it works:
env['path1'] = Entry('src/images').get_subst_proxy()
env['path2'] = env.subst('${path1.posix}')
print(env['path2'])

I think .posix was only intended for $SOURCE and $TARGET, not for other
variables.
