That actually reminds me of something - I had to use relative paths
lately in cross-platform ways and the current way of [not] dealing with
it really sucks. So here's a proposal for introducing FileDirectory>>,
for referencing either files or directories. E.g., in order to get a
directory 'foo/bar/baz' you'd write:

dir := FileDirectory default, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz'.

To get the file 'foo/bar/baz/mumble.file' you would say:

file := FileDirectory default, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'mumble.file'.

The returned file would be closed so you'd have to open it through:

file open: #readOnly.
file open: #readWrite.

Feelings?

BTW, I had considered using '/' but it looks kinda ugly to write 
	FileDirectory default / 'foo' / 'bar' / 'baz'.
comma is already a concatenation operator and makes the cross-platform
aspect a little clearer.
