Relative path not working

[razonyang]

I modified the example, relative path seems not working.

Code snippet:

func main() {
    statikFS, err := fs.New()
    ...
    for _, name := range []string{"hello.txt", "/hello.txt"} {
        _, err := statikFS.Open(name)
        if err != nil {
            log.Printf("file %s: %s", name, err)
        } else {
            log.Printf("file %s exists", name)
        }
    }
        ...
}

$ go run main.go
2020/03/11 07:50:11 file hello.txt: file does not exist
2020/03/11 07:50:11 file /hello.txt exists

I think it makes sense we only support absolute path, I can't think of a use case where we don't use it. Hence one option here is to either prepend slash when missing or just update the documentation to specify this. Any thoughts on this @rakyll?

@jcchavezs Thx, I solved it by adding a forward slash. But, IMO, a file system(http.FileSystem) should be able to open relative path files, such as http.Dir and packr.Box.
