I'm a bit worried about the consequences still. If you take "C:" and join it with e.g. "foo", you get a drive-relative path. If you take "//?/C:/" and join it with e.g. "foo", you get an absolute path (or, if you remove the drive's trailing slash, you get something that's invalid AFAIK). So the question is: how implicit/explicit will the conversion be, and at which stages will it happen?
