Subject: [ruby-core:57820] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9002] Use simpler example for	File#expand_path


Issue #9002 has been updated by cha1tanya (Prathamesh Sonpatki).


Can we give both examples? I think the original example is a bit hard to understand due to two "..". In the first example we can show normal use and in second example, as you pointed out, how to resolve "..".
