std::filesystem POSIX mode is common to all POSIX platforms where
backslashes are NOT directory separators. How do you make them accept
your demands? How are you going to force POSIX platforms allow
Windows specific code?
For the specific case C:\Temp, I found this:
cygpath -ua 'C:\Temp'
-> /cygdrive/c/Temp
cygpath -ua /cygdrive/c/Temp
-> /cygdrive/c/Temp
cygpath -ua '\Temp'
-> /cygdrive/c/Temp
cygpath -ua '/Temp'
-> /Temp
Now Cygwin is open source, so you, too, could grab the code in cygpath and

The implementation on top of Cygwin is not "for Windows", it's "for Cygwin", i.e., "for Posix". And
for Cygwin that's the right thing to do. And that's where we keep

That's not what Cygwin is for, you ignore everything while conveniently
