  !relative?(path)
end

.chop_basename(path) ⇒ Object

List File.split, but preserves the file separators.

FileTest.chop_basename('/usr/lib') #=> ['/usr/', 'lib']
FileTest.chop_basename('/') #=> nil

Returns Array of ‘[pre-basename, basename]` or `nil`.

This method is here simply to support the #relative? and #absolute? methods.
