100% unrelated, but this is why my dirs *always* have a trailing `/`
... better to fail trying to remove a nonexistent `var/...` then
*gasp* the alternative `/var/<oops>` ....
... i wish everyone else did this too. make it very easy to
detect/react when absolute fragments are appended (causes a double
`//`), naturally relative, fails more gracefully, obviates the fact
it's not a file, and avoids hacky code trying to remove PRECEDING `/`s
that MAY or MAY NOT exist (very annoying).
but yeah ... bugtracker ;-)
