[wp-hackers] user_trailingslashit()?

[Mike Schinkel]

Okay, Thanks. 

Maybe I'm just confused by some carelessly written code?  For example, why do this?

>          $link = trailingslashit(get_bloginfo('home')) . str_replace('%pagename%', $post_type['plural'] . '/' . $post->post_name, $permastruct);
>          $link = user_trailingslashit($link);

Why not just:

         $link =user_trailingslashit(get_bloginfo('home')) . str_replace('%pagename%', $post_type['plural'] . '/' . $post->post_name, $permastruct);
