Your point needs support from non-awesome users. If you try to open a
relative path and it doesn't work, you go "Oh, right, relative path".
The bone of contention in the thread is what should be done when you
didn't mean to open a relative path. If all the Chromium developers
all around the world needed this feature, that would still be a small
number of people, and if they really needed it, enabling it only for
non-release builds would probably cover most of those cases.
[I'm just saying. As a Mac user, I must obey the party line that even
though we run on the only real Unix, there is no command-line.]
