Steps to reproduce

The -RelativeBasePath string parameter qualifies the -Relative switch.

Currently, -RelativeBasePath is ignored if -Relative isn't also specified.

The better solution is for -RelativeBasePath to imply -Relative, analogous to how, with Get-ChildItem, -Depth implies -Recurse.

Update: Turns out that -RelativeBasePath without -Relative does have a use case, albeit only with relative input paths; see comments below.

Resolve-Path $Home -RelativeBasePath /  # -Relative not specified; should be implied

Expected behavior

E.g., on Windows:

.\Users\jdoe

Actual behavior

E.g., on Windows:

Path
----
C:\Users\jdoe

That is, -RelativeBasePath was quietly ignored.
