For instance, many lazy (not in the Haskell meaning) programmers believe that the path is safe if it does not include .. but it is false (hint: ."."/foo/bar is a legal path on Unix).
I believe this does not cause trouble. If it is a shell expression, it will go one level up. However, when treated as a filesystem path alone it will stay beneath. After all, the filesystem does not interpret quotation marks. Regards, Piotr Kalinowski -- Intelligence is like a river: the deeper it is, the less noise it makes
