Comment:
I have implemented and validated alternative behaviour for
canonicalizePath on the patch-5014 branch of the testsuite and directory
repos. As a side effect, this change fixes T4113 on OS X.
Does this change require a libraries proposal?
One missing piece is that I understand from #4480 that some versions of
Windows may have a bug so that (contrary to its documentation)
GetFullPathName may fail on non-existant files.
