 *                           it will be assumed to be relative to process.cwd(),
 *                           converted to absolute, and then processed.
 * @param {string} [baseDir] Absolute base directory to resolve the filepath from.
 *                           If not provided, all this function will do is remove
 *                           a leading slash.
