Yes, but the counterargument to that is: since you're replacing the old filespec with a completely unrelated path, who's to say that the old path syntax is any better fit than "host".

I think it would be best here to actually make this argument mandatory and force everyone to think about the correct syntax when constructing the object, but maybe that's a change for another day.

Ah, I see.. I can certainly understand why `c:` wouldn't be considered absolute, but I'm not sure the same thing applies to `//net`. However, I think I can live that interpretation right now..
