 with a / ?  I say no.

 Yes, we do care.  (We could be running in `/` .)  Fortunately, the Tcl 8.5
 `filename(n)` man page says: Multiple adjacent slash characters are
 interpreted as a single separator.  (If we're lucky, that's even part of a
 Unixoid standard.)

 _fullpath] seems pretty promising.

 I've heard of that function (from Shondoit).  I suppose I should read that
 function's documentation and use it.
