I am not sure we should bend over backwards to people courting
disaster.  Completion does not add double slashes, and that's the most
common cause for spurious slashes.  And I don't know an equally
straightforward way to remove multiple slashes at the end.

do orig_namespace="$OPTARG";OPTARG="${OPTARG%/}/"
while test "X${orig_namespace}" != "X${OPTARG}"

is not really all too pretty.
