--------------------------+-----------------
 Current, a request to the API with rewrite rules enabled doesn't
 differenentiate URLs with trailing slashes just as `http://localhost:8080
 /wp-json/wp/v2/` vs `http://localhost:8080/wp-json/wp/v2`, this seems to
 be a property to WP_Rewrite / class WP to split off the trailing slash
 always.

 However, when making requests do
 `http://localhost:8080/?rest_route=/wp/v2/` the trailing slash is not
 stripped, as it doesn't go through the same transformation in `class WP`.
 I think it's safe to always untrailingslash the requested URL in the REST
 API, for matching purposes.
