path.rs: "consts::path_sep" wrong on Windows? #2752
Description
I read this
#[cfg(windows)]
mod consts {
const path_sep: char = '/'; // "The primary path separator character for the platform"
const alt_path_sep: char = '\\';
}
and
#[doc = "Get the default path separator for the host platform"]
fn path_sep() -> str { ret str::from_char(consts::path_sep); }
as "'/' is the default and primary path separator on Windows".
Is this a bug?

It's definitely intentional, I think mostly to make it easier on us, since
/works in both places. Clearly though it is wrong is some sense. I'm ok with changing it.kud1ing commentedon Jun 29, 2012
Maybe some additional comments will suffice.

Fixed in the new path module (paths get joined with backslash on windows in all cases; though we'll split with forward-slash).
