That's the way how the other backends work. This has not caused problems
in the past, so perhaps its good enough. It would also be consistent
across backends.
Thanks for the advice. That is what I will do, with one very small twist: it
will be possible to specify a folder path with a leading /, which will be
ignored (except to indicate this is a path, not a collection Id). This means
that if you have created folders 1, 2 and 3 you can specify them by folder
name if you want (/1, /2, /3). getDatabases will continue to display the names
without a leading / and most people only use top level folders and will never
use a / but it is there if someone wants to use it.
