[PD] [dirpanel] inconsistency in Windows?

Hi,

If you bang a [dirpanel] and browse for a directory in Windows, if you 
select any folder that is not the root of a disk, you get:

symbol X:/path/to/the/folder

NOT ending with slash.

However, if you select the root of drive X, you get:

X:/

WITH the ending slash.

Isn't this inconsistent? Shouldn't the output either always or never 
include the ending slash? (I don't know which of the two would be better).

This means for example that you can't safely use

[symbol $1/mysubfolder(

and expect it to work in all cases. Just an example.
