Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

ntpath.abspath() doesn't always return an absolute path:

>>> import ntpath>>> ntpath.abspath('C:\x00')'C:\x00' # instead of 'C:\\Users\\wanne\\\x00'>>> ntpath.abspath('\x00:')'\x00:' # instead of '\x00:\\'

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
