 > Yes, but that's when we're asking the system to parse or generate a
 filepath. Here we're just doing string comparison. These are the cases
 where we need to use `DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR`.

 But yet we also standardise all paths we operate on to use `/`. What I'm
 getting at here, is that we don't use `DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR` inside
 WordPress for a reason, because we don't use Windows formatted paths like
 that, and I'm curious WHY this fixes it in this case. It feels like we're
 not normalising the path at a higher level, or the system is seeing the
 path in a way that is not standard.
