I also agree; sorry, I should have said it that way originally.
However: what happens in DOS if you use a file name like "@:/a/b/c"?
Is this parsed as an invalid file letter, and then rejected, or as a
file name that's much like "@_/a/b/c" but just happens to have an
colon rather than an underscore? If the former, then surely dirname
should not bother to check whether the first character is a letter.
