What about:

	import std.string : chomp;
	url.chomp('/') ~ '/'

The .chomp removes the "/" if there's one, then the ~ adds it back in
either way, so the result always ends with "/".

Phobos provides the primitives to build what you need, but it's a little
unreasonable to expect that it should provide names for every possible
combination of existing functions -- we'd run out of names because of
combinatorial explosion.
