IIRC, it's discussed about once every year. I'm sure there are reasons enough not to allow it. I can't see any reasons not to add a function to do that operation on arrays, though, it's a common enough problem.
combine_path(foo,"..")/"/"
might solve *your* problem, though. :)

hi,
instead of having to do:
reverse(reverse(foo/"/")[1..]);
i'd very much prefer:
(foo/"/")[..-2];
are there any reasons that speak against supporting this other than me not being able to offer a patch?
greetings, martin.
