[ESS-bugs] "//" on the Macintosh

[Alex Branham]

Emacs upstream did some work about this recentlyish I think. See if it's
fixed in Emacs 27 (you'll have to build from the git repo since it's not
released yet). If not, M-x report-emacs-bug.

If you can't build from source, let me know and I can test for you.
