Does path start with a slash?

If path is a "absolute-path reference" (i.e. it starts
with a slash), and you do foo.restrictedTraverse(path),
the value of foo does not matter. Therefore,
context.restrictedTraverse(path+'/FolderC') and
herenow.restrictedTraverse(path+'/FolderC') are exactly equivalent.
This is true regardless of how many things you have named '/FolderC'.
