+ *
+ * "The idea: uncomplete(/foo/new, /foo/bar) => ../new
+ * The use case for this is any time you get a full path (from an open dialog, perhaps)
+ * and want to store a relative path so that the group of files can be moved to a different
+ * directory without breaking the paths. An IDE would be a simple example, so that the
+ * project file could be safely checked out of subversion."
+ *
+ * ALGORITHM:
+ * iterate path and base
+ * compare all elements so far of path and base
+ * whilst they are the same, no write to output
+x2 * when they change, or one runs out:
+ * write to output, ../ times the number of remaining elements in base
+ * write to output, the remaining elements in path
+ */
