    Add the directory to the system PATH at index location

    index
        Position where the directory should be placed in the PATH. This is
        0-indexed, so 0 means to prepend at the very start of the PATH.

        .. note::
            If the index is not specified, and the directory needs to be added
            to the PATH, then the directory will be appended to the PATH, and
            this state will not enforce its location within the PATH.

    Examples:

    .. code-block:: yaml

        'C:\\python27':
          win_path.exists

        'C:\\sysinternals':
