As a result, writing these paths literally (using \\?\ syntax) makes them hard to operate with from the shell, Windows Explorer or other tools. Disallow these.
	cceae9a2	2014-12-01T13:09:58		win32: use NT-prefixed "\\?\" paths When turning UTF-8 paths into UCS-2 paths for Windows, always use the \\?\-prefixed paths. Because this bypasses the system's path canonicalization, handle the canonicalization functions ourselves. We must: 1. always use a backslash as a directory separator 2. only use a single backslash between directories 3. not rely on the system to translate "." and ".." in paths 4. remove trailing backslashes, except at the drive root (C:\)
