 If I'm right actually the only system call made by ::expand_path is a
 getwd(). To resolve the short version you must use another system call,
 and I hope that the system has this system call.

 For the same reason that apparently some users use mixed case in different
 require, when they want to load the same file. Personnaly it's difficult,
 for me, to understand why they do this.
