So it's now two problems, and I think this is my final comment:

1. is_relative_to_cwd() I continue to think is a bad name for something
   concerned about ".." (plus on Windows not having a drive letter other
   than the current one); the "normal" meaning of "relative path" is
   merely "not absolute"

2. if this proposed new function is to replace some uses of
   is_absolute_path() then I'm afraid I'd not picked up on that (as
   Bruce did) and have no opinion on whether it's a good idea or not,
   and am not qualified to be the one doing the code investigation (not
   enough knowledge of the code, it's beta time, and I'm frantically
   short of time just now as well, sorry)
