At the moment I am using this to avoid the

File.exists <- function(x) {
if (.Platform$OS == "windows" && grepl("[/\\]$", x)) {
file.exists(dirname(x))
} else file.exists(x)
}
but it would be nice if that could be done by file.exists itself.
I think that ignoring a terminal slash/backslash on Windows would do no
harm: It would improve consistency between platforms, and perhaps nobody
really relies on the current behavior. Would shorten the documentation, too.
