Um ... isn't that second function name pretty misleading, if
what you want is what the comment above it says?

Assuming the comment is what you want (presumably, else you'd
just negate a test of is_absolute_path()) then my suggestions
for (IMHO :-) clearer names would be is_subdir_path() if you
still want "path" in the name, or just is_subdir() if the
meaning will be clear enough from context.
