I think you already have mingw_is_dir_sep() and its shorter alias
is_dir_sep() available to you.

There is no need to prefix mingw_ to this function that is file
local static. Isn't is_local_named_pipe() descriptive and unique
enough?

It is kind-of surprising that there hasn't been any existing need
for a helper function that would allow us to write this function
like so:
static int is_local_named_pipe(const char *path)
{
return path_is_in_directory(path, "//./pipe/");
}
Not a suggestion to add such a thing; as long as we know there is no
other codepath that would benefit from having one, a generalization
like that can and should wait.
