----------------------------------------
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.
