Small clarification: The Windows *API* accepts both types of slash
(you can open a file using forward slashes, for instance), but not all
Windows *applications* are aware of this (generally only
cross-platform ones take notice of this), and most Windows *users*
prefer backslashes. So when you come to display a Windows path, you
may want to convert to backslashes. But that's for display.
