This is stupid, fragile, error-prone appoach that does not even cover all
cases (like shown in the PR) when no paths end in slash but the problem
still occurs.  Did you read the analysis of my original problem carefully
enough?  It was not about slashes, it was symlinks and realpath.

You might not like proposed solution but then think of something better;
computers are smart enough to handle slashes automagically rather than
depend on that unrealiable human beings will follow the rules and notes.
