What did you do?

I set my TMP directory to Z:\

I used this command:

set TMP=Z:\

Then I built and run this program https://play.golang.org/p/8FXtRPXiQar

What did you expect to see?

Z:\

What did you see instead?

Z:

My comments

Removing last \ is wrong, because Z:\ is root directory on Z:, while Z: is current directory on Z:.

Probably, not common to use root directory for TMP. But, if setup this way, I can see how os.TempDir will bring confusion and chaos in my program.
