Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-7648:
----------------------------------------
See also ARROW-6622 and https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/5445. Back then it
was decided that it wasn't C++'s responsibility to sanitize file paths. Happy
to remove the R code that patch added if we reach a different decision this
time.

> One way or the other, we should try to sanitize local filesystem paths on
> Windows, by converting backslashes into regular slahes.
> One place to do it is {{FileSystemFromUri}}. One complication is that
> \-separated paths can fail parsing as a URI, but we only want to sanitize a
> path if we detected it's a local path (by parsing the URI). Perhaps trying on
> error would work.
