Comment (by simonmar):
Yes, the point is that if you're using "" to mean ".", then that's wrong.
It's only System.FilePath that has this behaviour, the OS interface
doesn't (try `changeCurrentDirectory ""`).
I suppose to avoid breakage we could just make System.FilePath accept ""
as it currently does, giving it the same meaning as ".", but it would
never yield "" as a directory name.
