Implementation use `substitute-in-file-name' which substitute environment variables but 
also drop all in front of consecutive directory separators (up to the last 
of those dir. separators). The documentation of `parse-colon-path' dont 
mention about that behaviour.

In unix systems there is no difference between:

I)  /foo//bar/baz
II) /foo/bar/baz

`substitute-in-file-name' would translate I) into:
/bar/baz

In case path to parse contains an environment variable:
FOO=/foo/bar
BAZ=/foo/bar/

A) path="$FOO/bin" ; works (FOO is a directory file name)
B) path="$BAZ/bin" ; fails (FOO is not a directory file name)


Observed same behaviour on this fuction in emacs versions: 19, 20, 21, 22, 
23, 24 and 25.
Attached patch calls `substitute-env-in-file-name' instead of 
`substitute-in-file-name' and it returns same values for 
inputs I) and II) or A) and B).

In *scratch* buffer after started session with:

(let* ((foo "/foo/bar//baz/:/qux/quux/corge//")) ; '//'

There are 2 typos in previous report:

>B) path="$BAZ/bin" ; fails (FOO is not a directory file name)
Should be:
B) path="$BAZ/bin" ; fails (BAZ is not a directory file name)

>let ((foo "/foo/bar/baz/qux/:/quux/corge/:/grault/graply/waldo")) ; `ok'
>  (setenv "FOO" foo)
>  (parse-colon-path "$FOO"))
>("/foo/bar/baz/qux/:/quux/corge/:/grault/graply/waldo/")
It's _not_ ok: `parse-colon-path' returns list with 1 element (don't split on ':').


New patch applied over previous tests returns:

("/foo/bar/baz/" "/qux/quux/corge/")
("/foo/bar/baz/qux/" "/quux/corge/" "/grault/graply/waldo/")

A new patch handling multiple "/" in front of a dir as it was
done before: collapse multiple "/" in front of the directory.

aref signals an error if dir is too short.  You can also avoid the loop
if you write it as (if (string-match "\\`/+" dir) (substring
dir (1- (match-end 0))) dir).

The bug report was slightly unclear, but I think the taste case was

(parse-colon-path "/foo//bar/baz")
=> ("/bar/baz/")

and that being a mistake?  But I'm not sure it is -- In Emacs, if you do
that in, say, find-file, you'll end up in /bar/baz, and that's by
design.

But I may have misread what this was about...

For file names coming from outside the double slash should not be
special.  For example, `emacs foo//bar' visits the file `foo/bar', not
`/bar'.

Makes sense.  I've now applied this patch to Emacs 28 (and adjusted the
test that expected :failure).
