STINNER Victor added the comment:

Ned Batchelder wrote an article about this function in 2010 :-)

https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201003/whats_the_point_of_ospathcommonprefix.html

"""
The docs helpfully include the warning:

    Note that this may return invalid paths because it works a character at a 
time.

But it should say:

    This function is in the wrong place, and has nothing to do with paths, 
don't use it if you are interested in file paths!
