OK, I looked at the source: split('/') with no strip, so a trailing '/' will
give you an empty string for the last arg. And I think that both the new and
old versions do the same thing.
We could change it, I suppose, but someone might be relying on the current
behavior. Though that would be a little strange, I guess.
It's an accident of the original regex that parses the URL. It appears to be
intended to strip the trailing slash, but the args pattern is greedy and sucks
it in for itself.
Massimo, do you have an opinion? It'd be trivial to strip slashes.
