[issue9882] abspath from directory

Yes, but this seems to be rational particularly for emulating directory changes without actually doing so. Since relative paths can use .. it may not always be straightforward to do this. Applications include archivers, dependency checkers, patch tools, self-extractors, installers, file managers, sync managers, D/VCS systems, loggers, and anti-malware programs.
