Got it.  But it doesn't make sense that /sometimes/ a 
relative path is relative, and /sometimes/ it's absolute.

That is, the path is relative until you call a method... and 
then the path gets bound to an absolute path.

That just doesn't make sense.  It should either always be 
relative, or always be absolute.
