BTW, Windows still has only erratic support for using / as path separators,
even in the system commands. Not even the "DIR" command can deal with it.
We don't program using DIR. That is irrelevant. (not contesting that Windows
doesn't work well with '/', just that DIR, or any other command line tool, is
evidence)
The fact that DIR, probably the most widely used command in Windows, doesn't
support it is indicative.
I've also noticed Windows file dialog boxes not supporting it, and those are
supposed to be standard components.
DIR is used in .bat files and makefiles, it is certainly used in programming.
