Ned Batchelder wrote an article about this function in 2010 :-) https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201003/whats_the_point_of_ospathcommonprefix.html """ The docs helpfully include the warning: Note that this may return invalid paths because it works a character at a time. But it should say: This function is in the wrong place, and has nothing to do with paths, don't use it if you are interested in file paths! """
