New submission from Alessandro Forghieri <a...@orion.it>:
Observed behavior:
>>>>>>os.path.join('/foo/bar', '/baz')
'/baz'
Expected behavior:
should return '/foo/bar/baz' or (suboptimally) raise an exception.
Why:
Observed beahvior violates the minimal surprise principle and does not appear
to respond to any particular rationale (by the same token it could return
/foo/bar as well)
