Exactly. Case in point: UNC paths. Both "\\machine\share" and"\machine\share" will refer to the string '\machine\share'. To really reference a UNC path, you'll need to say "\\\\machine\\share". So why not double the backslashes anyway and save yourself the confusion?
Personally I just say //machine/share. Why count all those backslashes when forward slashes work just fine!

(Yeah, yeah, they don't work fine for Windows programs. Instead $(cygpath -w //machine/share))
