That would keep relative includes broken in _Windows_ UWP Java applications and from _Linux_ anonymous pipes and files (where they don't make a lot of sense anyway). But that is better than the current status quo (_Windows_ UWP Java applications break if they load the `java.security.Security` class).

@franferrax I think it would be useful to update the PR description now that the fix is different than what was originally proposed.
