Yes. I have always thought that ./foo is an abbreviation for
`pwd`/foo, and similarly for ../foo (although you can't define that
similarly without self-reference). Ie, these are _absolute_ paths.
I'm willing to be told otherwise, but that's my intuition. That's the
way the shell works, for example.
