You are contradicting yourself.
Anyway, non-absolute path names passed to the functions mean the behavior is unspecified. No portable application must ever do this. It is enforced for this reason plus if there comes a time when we want to do something special which doesn't conflict with standard-compliant behavior we have a possibility for that. Unlike wh6at you think, the tests *are* useful.
