A flaw that might give people the false impression that `$' after /

   I expect that the
   traditional "double slash" behavior of Emacs filename input -- which
   is what rfn-eshadow fixes -- confuses far, _far_, more people.

I do not understand.  It confuses people who want to use empty file
or directory names?  I doudt that is going to work anyway.
