Comment (by martin.apel@…):

 The implementation as of 1.64 (which is the same as for 1.60) still has a
 bug related to handling reparse points:
   For an input path, which points to a IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT, it
 returns something like
       E:/?\Volume{3bb57579-710b-11e7-ac12-e8b1fc0f674c}\ \test
   which is not accepted by other filesystem function, e.g. by
 create_directories.

 From my point of view it is wrong to treat mount points as symlinks in all
 cases.
