by lexically_normal on windows

 Reporter:  peter@…           |      Owner:  Beman Dawes
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.65.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+-------------------------
 According to the documentation the result for lexically_normal should
 contain backslashes on windows.
 This is not the case for the directory-separator representing the root-
 directory.

 Examples:

 {{{
 cout << path("/tmp/abc/def).lexically_normal() << endl;
 cout << path("c:\\abc/def").lexically_normal() << endl;
 }}}

 Output:
 {{{
 /tmp\abc\def
 c:/abc\def
 }}}
