I respectfully disagree. The former string clearly distinguishes between 
path and filename thus visually representing a full pathname. It was 
obvious to understand. The new one looks more cryptic suggesting that 
$(root) could be a macro related to the filename, not the path. This may 
lead users easily reintroducing the slash back in their custom configs, 
just because it does look more natural.

I believe it would be much better to fix PathName to replace double 
slashes with single ones inside and forget about any possible 
configuration issues.
