I just get confused every time I use Padrino.root because I expect it to work like Rails.root, in that you can say `Rails.root.join(foo, bar)` as an alias for `"#{Rails.root}/foo/bar"`, which I really like because no need to reimplement functionality that Pathname already gives you. I know this would break everything (and that's the last thing I want to do), but OTOH I figure if we can reduce the number of API differences between Rails and Padrino, the better it is for everyone. Is this something you could possibly consider for 1.0?
