Hmph.  I think there are places we state pathname within 'single
quotes' as a part of sentence, which may have the same issue.  I
understand and am sympathetic to the motivation, but at the same
time messages that do not end with full-stop somehow make me
feel quite uneasy. I'll swallow the patch; maybe it is just me.
