So I would like to suggest that if opening /foo fails emacs will s|//|/|g and then try to open /tmp/foo, and if that fails will report that /foo and /tmp/foo do not exist. I don't think it is important to evaluate all possibilities. So if someone tries to open /tmp//foo//bar and tried to open /foo/bar he's out of luck. # Han
