remove leading slash from the name

This is related to #13. A few things were left in that patch. This one is a bit cleaner and simpler. Hope it gets merged.

@mesuutt this is the same as my last pull request in #13,just without the documentation update and the test. Anyway, I hope one of the pull requests gets merged eventually.

@twigs I know little English, so I hope you understand me. I looked at your last commit and I see your code has unnecessary code(there is strip_slash parameter still exist in code but I think it is not necessary). You know @kadirpekel don't merging your patch for one month and didn't write any comment to the pull request. After that I started to think @kadirpekel did not merge your patch because your commit not clear and there are unnecessary code in your patch still. So I make this pull request. But @kadirpekel don't merge my patch too :)

I did not care about merge my patch. I care about this bug should be fixed at @kadirpekel's repo.

Yes I forgot write test.
