Sure.

But, thinking more about this, maybe we would want a new function.
Because this is not fun:

    (apply #'file-name-concat (file-name-split "/foo/bar"))
    => "foo/bar"

I'd like it better if it worked like this:

    (file-name-join (file-name-split "/foo/bar"))
    => "/foo/bar"

And then there are the issues Mattias has pointed out.  One small step
in the right direction would be to make sure that:

    (equal (file-name-split "/foo")
           (file-name-split "//foo"))
