Well, not in the name, but \ by itself ("\\" in Java)
is a relative filename meaning "root of the current
working drive." As for \\ aka "\\\\" my opinion is
that is no file at all. \ falls into the category of,
to be precise, relative files. It may be easiest for
us to throw errors on this filename on DOS. Likewise
for X:somefile with no separator after the colon;
currently we return a totally different File, which I
think crosses the line of acceptability.
