Steve Dower added the comment:
Paths are processed by the Windows API. This processing includes (at least):
* resolve to current directory
* convert forward slashes to backslashes
* remove adjacent backslashes
* trim trailing dots and spaces from names
* resolve short path names
This processing can be skipped with the '\\?\' prefix, but in general it
shouldn't be.
I would be okay with seeing this processing performed by pathlib so that
str(Path("C:\\") / "test ") == "C:\\test" (or maybe as part of .resolve() -
there's another issue where we started discussing this), but I would be really
hesitant to change ntpath to do it or detect it.
