Middle slashes are guaranteed to turn into a single slash, but starting
slashes are not!

Linux doesn't do anything special with double slashes at the front, but
some network file systems on other POSIX-compatible operating systems
have handled them differently.

/var////tmp////foo is always the same as /var/tmp/foo, but //var/tmp/foo
and /var/tmp/foo can be different.
