    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When the input argument is the absolute name of a directory the function
incorrectly returns the input argument.  This affects both dir_in_loadpath and
file_in_loadpath.

Example Code:


octave:12> dir_in_loadpath ("/home")
ans = /home
octave:13> file_in_loadpath ("/home")
ans = /home
