5149	Incorrect behavior of basic_path.remove_filename() function	lcarreon@…	Beman Dawes	"According to the documentation of basic_path.remove_filename(), the result should not contain any trailing slashes if the result is not the root directory.  However, this is not what I am observing.

Here is an example of what I have observed.  I invoked current_path<path>() and displayed a partial list of the properties of the result which are as follows:

  string = 'C:/Devel/projects/compiler_tests/test_path'

  file_string = 'C:\Devel\projects\compiler_tests\test_path'

  directory_string = 'C:\Devel\projects\compiler_tests\test_path'

Afterwards, I invoked remove_filename() on the above and again displayed a partial list of the properties of the result which are as follows:

  string = 'C:/Devel/projects/compiler_tests/'

  file_string = 'C:\Devel\projects\compiler_tests\'

  directory_string = 'C:\Devel\projects\compiler_tests\'

Am I misunderstanding the documentation because the above is not the result that I expected.  However, if I invoked remove_filename() on the above and displayed the partial list of the properties of the result, I get the following:

  string = 'C:/Devel/projects/compiler_tests'

  file_string = 'C:\Devel\projects\compiler_tests'

  directory_string = 'C:\Devel\projects\compiler_tests'

The above is the result I expected from the initial invocation of remove_filename().

Please clarify.  Please note that I am observing the same behavior on Fedora Linux and Solaris 10 x86.
