What is shlex.split supposed to do on Windows? It seems to be present but it can't handle basic Windows pathnames : shlex.split("C:\\directory\\file") returns C:directoryfile (whereas os.system happily accepts the same string).

Also, it runs in POSIX mode and there is no way to override it! Why isn't POSIX mode the default on POSIX systems and not on non-POSIX systems? Or for it to at least be possible to says shlex.split(s, posix=False)?
