Idiom #151 Remove string trailing path separator

Remove last character from string p, if this character is the file path separator of current platform.

Note that this also transforms unix root path "/" into the empty string!

p.chomp!("/")

Ruby uses / as path separator on all platforms, including windows.
import static java.io.File.separatorChar;
int n = p.length() - 1;
while (n != 0 && p.charAt(n) == separatorChar)
    p = p.substring(0, n--);
using System.IO;
p.TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);
New implementation...
