Current implementation use `substitute-in-file-name' which substitute environment variables; that
function deal with '//' differently as expected on unix systems:
In unix systems there is no difference between:
I) /foo//bar/baz
II) /foo/bar/baz
but `substitute-in-file-name' will translate I) into:
/bar/baz
I found more sensible if 'parse-colon-path' would made no difference
between I) and II).
