One thing that seems to be missing is a good abstraction of relative paths, and some type of #, message to allow relative ones to be tacked onto full ones (FileDirectory etc.)??

Smalltalk deserves a better library for file. What a crap this stuff.
The problem is that a good platform independent library is not a trivial thing. Also from the architectural point of view this is a rather difficult problem. The biggest problem is though that the primitives where everything is built upon are arcane too.
