Drive-current paths are a relic of DOS 1.0, but even so this library
will handle them in the first argument.
I don't support alt-stream mangling because I don't believe it's the
job of this method to peform autocorrection. Even in MRI it only works
for the default $DATA stream, and then only for a certain type of
syntax error. I do not know when or why it was added.
+ Failure to convert short paths to long paths is irrelevant since that
+ has nothing to do with relative versus absolute paths.
+
One possible "real" issue is that on Windows 7 or earlier you will be
limited to 260 character paths. This is a limitation of the shlwapi.h
functions that I use internally.
If you discover any other issues, please report them on the project
