Comment(by batterseapower):
It's possible to construct examples where this revised implementation
gives a poor canonicalization. However, I would argue that this is fine
because it's only meant to be a best-effort process, anyway. If the file
is missing, that best effort is just a bit weaker than usual - a condition
I do not think justifies throwing an exception.
