+## `//` is now allowed as a function id for `meson rewrite`.
+
+msys bash may expand `/` to a path, breaking
+`meson rewrite kwargs set project / ...`. Passing `//` will be converted to
+`/` by msys bash but in order to keep usage shell-agnostic, also allow `//`
+as the id such that `meson rewrite kwargs set project // ...` will work in
+both msys bash and other shells.
