Paths are intended to be internal, and not something you ever deal
with directly.
I'm not sure I understand what you want to do, but maybe try replacing
#/ with #resolve:, e.g.:
'/home' asFileReference resolve: 'user' asFileReference
" File @ /home/user"
or:
'/home' asFileReference resolve: 'user' asFileReference path
" File @ /home/user"
Cheers,
Alistair
