A path can be specified by many equivalent ways, for instance a/./b is the
same as a/b, a/c/../b is again a/b (it need not be true in unix systems).
Doble slashes are ignored too, a//b is again a/b. The canonical path does
not contain double slashes, ./, ../, the engine may remove them before
searching the file.
