Details:
weechat::info_get( "weechat_dir", "" ) should return the absolute path
without a trailing shlash.
If you start weechat for example:
'weechat-curses --dir .weechat-test/'
weechat::info_get( "weechat_dir", "" ) will return:
'.weechat-test/'
This can cause problems if i.e. a script uses
weechat::info_get( "weechat_dir", "" )
to save a config-file in the 'weechat-dir' and save that
location with 'plugin_set_option' for late use.
If the cwd differs next time, starting weechat, say:
'weechat-curses --dir ../.weechat-test/'
Now, the saved option will point to an not existing file.
In the worst case an other file with the same name, having that
'wrong' path, could be corrupted
