Wrong!  If we use lists instead of embedded / characters, as stipulated.

The '' member (without quotes in the actual list member, which has
0 characters) would certainly be analogous to the current method
of differentiating between relative and absolute paths.  Is there
some way of getting rid of absolute paths?  What if first member
"bin" or "dev" etc. were bound to "float" to the current dir.?
