Prompted by a suggestion from Sigbjorn, I propose to clarify the description of Directory.getDirectoryContents. Current description: "Computation getDirectoryContents dir returns a list of all entries in dir." I propose to add: "Each entry in the returned list is named relative to the directory dir, not as an absolute path." Any objections?
