On the other hand, perhaps it does make sense.  There's some precedence
for this behaviour in Emacs -- `C-x C-w /tmp' will query you if you wish
to overwrite /tmp, while `C-x C-w /tmp/' will write to a file in /tmp/
(with the same name as the buffer name), and that seems to work without
confusing people.
