I've explained previously why I think that

(expand-file-name "/address@hidden:/../emacs")
=> "/address@hidden:/emacs"

should hold.  Now I found the explanation why the "/.." part remains
in the filename.  Viz,

(expand-file-name "/../tmp") => "/../tmp"

Should this be changed?  What should the result be?
