 * Hi there.
    Let me join the army of people starting the “trailing slash problem”
   topics.
 * Yes, I have skimmed all 54 pages of this support forum, there are quite few of
   them.
 * General recommendations are either “use regex to match /?” or “create two rules,
   with and without /”. Sure, that will work.
 * But this issue is few years old already. Could we please get an user-friendly
   option that will JUST WORK, just like wordpress does? WordPress doesn’t make 
   one think about a matter of trailing slashes. It just does it’s job (and redirects
   no slash path to a one with/).
 * This should be similarly simple.
    Could we get a reasoning why this is not implemented?
   I’m a developer myself, I’ll make a pull request with this option of you’ll say
   you have nothing against it. If you do, why?
 * On a side now, why is that not on the FAQ?

 * Dima, I’m not related to this plugin, other than being a fellow user, but I’d
   be glad to see your pull request on the matter. That’s a great offer!
