IIRC correctly, POSIX requires that "foobar" and "foobar/"
Hello!
when using Bash expansion on directories, it will
print them with a trailing slash. this is problematic
on GNU because performing operations on these
directories will fail, eg:
# rm -r foo
# rm -r foobar/
# rm: cannot remove `foobar/': Invalid argument
in what way is this problem suposed
