One problem that using "//" may have (thought it is personally my favourite
option right now) is that "realpath(3)" may cause the "//" to be eaten, and
this is used by many programs to "resolve" pathnames to remvoe symlinks,
bogus "/./" etc. This may need a small fix in glibc, but at least it is
still central instead of teaching a million apps about different sematics.
Cheers, Andreas
