I'm not so sure about that. Consider that "file:///foo.bar"
is a valid relative pathname on Unix to a file called "foo.bar"
in a directory called "file:".

That's not to say there shouldn't be a function available
that understands it, but I wouldn't want it built into
all functions that take pathnames.
