Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:10 admintiger]:
 > Problems arise with file-path string comparisons, file-path string
 searches, and file-path string search and replace operations where slashes
 can be of either type. Why not avoid the potential for all such problems
 by making forward slashes the WordPress standard throughout?

 I doubt that would help much. Plenty of plugins would still use
 `dirname(__FILE__)` to get current path and perform comparisons and string
 operations on their own, just like they do now.
