 Adding an endpoint with {{{add_rewrite_endpoint()}}} seems to also create
 sub directories after that endpoint. For example:

 {{{
 // Add query var.
 add_filter( 'query_vars', function( $vars ) {
     $vars[] = 'my-endpoint';
     return $vars;
 } );

 // Add endpoint.
 add_action( 'init', function() {
     add_rewrite_endpoint( 'my-endpoint', EP_AUTHORS );
 } );
 }}}

 I can now visit:

  - example.com/author/my-endpoint
  - example.com/author/my-endpoint/random
  - example.com/author/my-endpoint/anything-here

 Is this expected?

 I believe the following should return a 404:

  - example.com/author/my-endpoint/random
  - example.com/author/my-endpoint/anything-here
