Fixed in the sandbox CVS.

Yes, normally. I can't think of a case where that isn't correct, although
maybe if you were using the path relative to other paths you could come up
with a contrived example of where both were meaningful.
I added a "Representation example" which illustrates the differences
between generic_path(), directory_path(), and file_path() returns.
