----
realpath() needs to be given a second argument that would permit use of the function on non-existent
files. It is frequently required that extra path data (., ./, ../, etc.) be removed from data, but
in cases where the file doesn't exist on the machine.
Would be nice to do <? realpath('/usr/rbin/../', true) ?> and have it give
'/usr' as the return value, even if /usr/rbin (or even /usr) does not exist.
