Inconsistency between WP_PLUGIN_DIR and plugin_dir_path(), etc.

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

It's rather minor, if it this is to get fixed, it's now or never.

The various path and url constants in WP don't add a trailing slash (except ABSPATH), and neither do the various content_url() et al functions. But plugin_dir_path() and plugin_dir_url() do.

Shouldn't it be consistent across the board?

Leaving this for Mark.

I can see that they are inconsistent but they are well documented and the slashes make them easier to use so I am on the WONTFIX side of the fence.

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

either way works for me, since it's documented. I merely meant to highlight the inconsistency with the other *_url() functions, which are not trailingslashed. once 2.8 is released, it'll be to late.

Talked to Mark and he agrees WONTFIX as this way they are easier to use.
