 The path "C:\\", while unusual, is legal in Windows and equivalent to
 "C:\". According to the path decomposition table, that means that
 {{{
 parent_path(L"C:\\\\")
 }}}
 should return "C:". However, it returns "C:\".

 The same is true for every variation with more than one trailing separator
 (preferred or generic).
