Subject: [ruby-core:70907] [Ruby trunk - Misc #11548] FileUtils#remove_tailing_slash is a poor method name

Issue #11548 has been updated by Martin D��rst.


I agree. We should probably introduce the new name now, and later deprecate the old one.

One would expect this method to be called `remove_trailing_slash`

I asked around on IRC and the consensus is this is probably an unfortunate typo that's survived too long.

Tailing and Trailing mean similar things, but I think most would expect "trailing" to be the clear choice here.
