Re: RFE: allowing "" as a path specification for 'current dir' w/o prepe

Had a final(?) thought on this of a way it could be done.

Since, as james mentioned, POSIX doesn't specify the behavior
of the case where no paths are given, it would have been
ideal for not prepending "./" to names as the current behavior
also comes from starting with "." as a path.

However given that some like the current behavior, a way to
allow users a choice of of no-path being the same as "." or
not-prepending "dot" would be the addition of an ENV var
along the lines of "FIND_NOPATH_PREPENDS_NODOT" (or whatever!).

Just a thought, since POSIX allows either behavior.

Cheers,
