Is it a contingent fact about this system that we have an absolute pathname here, o have we somehow ended up with a function named foo-relative-pathname that returns absolute pathnames?
as far as i read it, 'relative' here refers to 'system' in the meaning: give me a pathname that is relative to this system.
So when the argument is the system itself, we get the absolute pathname, and for the components we get back a relative pathname. I suppose that's reasonable.
