  Log:
  Ignore trailing slashes in pathnames that "refer to a directory",
  as is required to be POSIXLY_CORRECT and "right".  I interpret
  "referring to a directory" as being a directory or becoming a
  directory.  E.g., the trailing slashes in mkdir("/nonesuch/"),
  rename("/tmp", /nonesuch/") and link("/tmp", "/root_can_like_dirs/")
  are ignored because the target will become a directory if the
  syscall succeeds.  A trailing slash on a symlink causes the symlink
  to be followed (this is a bug if the symlink doesn't point to a
  directory; fix later).
