Maybe there's some misunderstanding here. Let me explain why I think
this is the correct expected result.
First, (file-name-nondirectory "/Users/HOME/Desktop/FOO") yields
"FOO", as it should, right?
Then (expand-file-name "FOO" "/Users/HOME/Desktop/foo") returns
"/Users/HOME/Desktop/foo/FOO" because that's what it's supposed to do:
it returns a file named "FOO" in the directory "/Users/HOME/Desktop/foo".
Can you tell what in this reasoning seems incorrect, and why?
> And that becomes the initial value of "to" when used by `dired-create-files` -- (setq to (funcall name-constructor from))
The code that special-cases MS-Windows and MS-DOS prevents this from
causing the unexpected results.
