Please don't.

1. That you have to do this is usually and indication that the problem
   is elsewhere (i.e. somebody is using concat where expand-file-name
   should be used). It is better to fix the real problem.
2. In the rare situations where this is really needed, please use
   file-name-as-directory instead.
