Description

enough-namestring doesn't work for this example: 

* (enough-namestring "foo/bar.lisp" (truename "./"))

Error in function (FLET LISP::LOSE LISP::UNPARSE-UNIX-ENOUGH):
   #P"foo/bar.lisp" cannot be represented relative to #P"/tmp/"
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

I would expect a result like "foo/bar.lisp".

This is my expectation too, but comments in the code for unparse-unix-enough says that you can't represent a relative directory relative to an absolute directory, which is what we have here. The comment doesn't explain why, so it must have been obvious at that time.

More thinking required.
