Interesting. I hadn't really thought about it, but I might have assumed full_name was absolute. However, now I see that it's "only as absolute as the directory argument to scandir is". Having said that, I don't think that full_name *implies* that, just that it's a possible mistake people could make. I agree that "path" could be seen as implying a Path object. My preference would be to retain the name full_name, but just make it explicit in the documentation that it is based on the directory name argument.
