This.

Maybe I'm misreading your problem, Andrey, but I got the impression from 
your STC that all it would take to fix it is to translate passed-in 
paths at the start of the script, if needed.  Everything that follows 
could then treat the paths portably.

Where is this error-checks-on-every-line horror?  I don't see how it 
emerges from your STC.

Simple test cases are great as far as they go, but maybe you've 
oversimplified this one, so I'm solving the toy problem posed by the 
STC, while entirely missing the actual problem.
