I definitely understand your point, and it is well taken. But expand-file-name is also often called with a single argument (the relative file name), so it would be rather odd/inconvenient to combine the two since Elisp optional args traditionally come at the end rather than at the beginning. OTOH, maybe we could do that for a new `concat-file-name-elements' which would be like `expand-file-name' except that it leaves the result relative if the directory argument is relative (so it'd be more like a "concat that adds a slash when needed").
