Why use ensureSlash to force slash in front?

[csvwolf]

What problem does this feature solve?

We set publicPath in the vue.config.js. But it will add a slash in the front when there is no https?:. In our usage, we will use a publishing tools to handle some STRING LIKE __CDN__. In webpack we only need to set publicPath to __CDN__/, but now we should set as ./__CDN__/.

I don't think the cli should check and auto change personal publicPath settings.

What does the proposed API look like?

For compatibility, maybe add an option like forceSlash to switch the feature is better.

Really ugly

Uglyness is an expression of personal taste, so not really a criteria by which to judge this.

Do you have any real, tangible, technical problem resulting from this?

Because webpack publicPath do that, https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#output-publicpath.

Edit: Just realize that OP is asking the leading slash not trailing slash...

Sorry for my poor English. My idea is to make a switch to control for user who don't need the auto-added leading slash, since there is a special scene or maybe the scene is just common in many companies?
