As an example, if we start trying to add leading or trailing slashes to
fix some particular hacky bit of code in Spring or whereever, that's where
I'm trying to head off things. If we have to do that, I'd want to define a
specific property for "Spring hacky bit of code XXX" that addresses that
need and not try and overload multiple hacky bits of code on top of each
other, because I think they'll change behavior over time. Keeping each
hack isolated to its own property lets us fix things that break without
cross-talk.
