I don't know of any.
By coincidence I just sent to this list a similar question about the
utility of wcsftime_l, which POSIX hasn't bothered to standardize. I've

Is it worth a concerted effort to try and modify POSIX to acknowledge

trailing slash should be interpreted
That would be better than trying to change the Linux kernel, coreutils,
Gnulib, etc., as the ship sailed long ago and it's not turning around.
