If the second operand is a path to a file the result is a path to a file.
If the second operand is a path to a directory the result is a path to a 
directory.

The first operand can only be a path to a directory.

A path can not at the same time refer to a file and a directory.

So when both operands are the same path this gives that they, as well as 
the result, can only be directory paths.
