I agree. Therefore, we would have *one* conditionalized definition of
is_dir_sep() upfront, and use that in place of c == '/'.

The #ifdef I'm addressing above is one that we had to introduce because in
the old implementation of prefix_path() on Windows we had to rewrite the
path more often than on *nix due to '\\' => '/' conversion. In your new
implementation this rewriting now always takes place, but on *nix it more
often turns out to be an identity operation.

You can't. But when would this be necessary?
