Re: (expand-file-name "/..")

Like I said I don't care enough since we can't realistically change the behavior anyway. *If* we were going to change anything, I'd skip all leading "/.." after each expansion. But this whole issue is not even relevant enough to care, as long as we raise developers' awareness with an appropriate docstring. In my use case (traversing directories towards root) for instance the trivial workaround is an abort condition which checks after every call to #'e-f-n, whether the returned string is shorter than that of the previous iteration.
