If '/' is prohibitted as an element of file name and directory name,
then no change to open is required.

Let's assume we accept '/' as an element of names,
then how do you express path in rc?

/bin/awk may be :
1. /bin/awk as it has been.
2. a file named "/bin/awk" in current directory.
3. a file named "bin/awk" in "/"
4. a file named "awk" in "/bin" and "/bin" is in current directory.
