I understand why this problem arose. If you parse an HTTP URL, its path always
starts with "/" if not empty. And you usually want to interpret it as a
relative to some base directory. But lstrip('/') works well here. In any case
you need to have some validation to disallow "..".
I think that adding yet one operation will confuse users. And what to do with
C:\foo\bar, C:foo\bar, \\?\c\foo\bar, etc?
