IMO, the reasons stated in those comments for not supporting escaped
non-special characters are bad a design decision. Eshell should only
do that on Windows, and even then there should be a user option for
such behavior, the default being that the directory separator is a
forward slash.
IOW, Eshell should behave like a Posix shell, even on Windows.
