  26    Return true if a trailing slash was removed.
  27    This is useful when using file name completion from a shell that
  28    adds a "/" after directory names (such as tcsh and bash), because
  29    the Unix rename and rmdir system calls return an "Invalid argument" error
  30    when given a file that ends in "/" (except for the root directory).  */
