Cannot parse `Rstat` with a name of `/`

As per the stat(5)
Plan 9 man page stat.name
must be /
if the file Tstat
is invoked with is the root of the file tree, but trying to parse such an Rstat
message with styxproto
leads to the following panic:
styxproto_test.go:92: bad message: slash in path element
I discovered this because I've been using styxproto
to validate my own 9P implementation. I haven't investigated the actual implementation of styx
or jsonfs
so I'm not sure what exactly causes it, but dumping the traffic when mounting a jsonfs
exported file tree I see that the root directory has a name of .
which is invalid as per stat(5)
.
