I have a file reference containing multiple occurrences of .., like this
File @ /Users/black/graceProgs/lists/../../Development/mg/gracelang/albums_junk.grace
How do I simplify this to show the simpler path without the .. ?  There should be a method on FileReference, no?  Something like #normalize ?  Or maybe FileReference should do this automatically when it is created?
On Pharo 6 use "asAbsolute" on a FileReference, like this:

'/Users/black/graceProgs/lists/../../Development/mg/gracelang/albums_junk.grace'
asFileReference asAbsolute

"File @ /Users/black/Development/mg/gracelang/albums_junk.grace"
