Comment:

 As mixed paths are perfectly OK on all PHP platforms, and
 `DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR` is only really useful for display purposes, I'm
 marking this as invalid.

 Anywhere in core where a path needs to be compared, `wp_normalize_path()`
 is used, plugins should use the same method for cross-platform
 compatibility. (See all the above tickets for discussion).
