Summary: os.path.join() fails if 2nd arg is a UNC path
Initial Comment:
os.path.join('c:', r'\server\share') returns
c:\server\share rather than \server\share.
Interestingly os.path.join('c:a', r'\server\share')
returns r'\server\share'. IMHO, r'\server\share'
should be returned in all cases.

If the current behavior is kept, then os.path.join can't be
relied upon to return the 2nd (or 3rd+) argument if that
argument is an absolute path. This is one of the things I
rely on os.path.join to do and would need to write my own
version. Also, the behavior is quite different if the first
agument contains more than simply the drive letter.
I know this is a difficult issue and that is why I would
like to see it fixed in the standard library. My question
is whether there is a rationale for the current behavior.

I'd recommend not to change the behaviour, but add a note in
the docs that UNCs are not recognized as such in os.path.join.

This is a difficult issue, since as far as I recall Windows
allows two or more backslashes in a row in the middle of
normal paths.
