Using absolute path instead of relative path on all operations

Greetings,

I have come over something which I think of as a bug, but you might
disagree.

Consider
$ cd
$ mkdir dir1 dir2
$ cd dir1
$ ln -s ../dir2 link
$ cd link
$ pwd
gives $HOME/dir1/link
but
$ ls ..
lists $HOME instead of dir1. Or, if you (being in link/)
$ cp file ..
the file gets copied into $HOME, not dir1/, i.e., the absolute path is
always used, ignoring any links.

I believe the path $PWD should always be used instead of the absolute
one. Thus, in the example, 'file' should be copied from dir2/ (or link/)
into dir1/.

Thanks!
Till
