Hi Malte,

I don't really think so. It's easier to append a slash if needed, than 
to crop a slash which is not needed. Besides, a path can also point to a 
file ("/foo/bar/file.php").

The thing is: you don't always know whether a path has to be transformed 
or not. E.g. when you have to write a file to a path which the user can 
set in the configuration.
Sure, especially in the core packages we can take care of this and it's 
done already in a lot of places. But a helper function might reduce 
duplicated code and help other package developers.
But you're right, at the cost of performance..

Thanks,
Bastian
