Comment (by jonoaldersonwp):

 Replying to [comment:2 flixos90]:
 > @jonoaldersonwp On the one hand, changing `redirect_canonical()` to
 cater for URLs with trailing slashes seems very reasonable to me. On the
 other hand, wouldn't that then break existing sites with such URLs? I'm
 wondering if there would be backward compatibility issues.

 It's my assumption that redirect_canonical fires after we know that the
 request is a 404 / doesn't match a known resouce, so we should be safe?
 Maybe that's not the case!
