17754	preg_match() use is overkill in path_is_absolute()	coffee2code	duck_	"`path_is_absolute()` utilizes `preg_match()` to check if the first character of a path string is either of two possibilities.  This is way overkill for such a simple case.  The alternative I've proposed via the attached patch is more performant and makes the intention of the code clearer (rather than obscured in a regular expression).
