I have, for the sake of experimentation, added a symbolic link with a
shell command like
ln -sf /usr/local/emacs-21 'c:\\artifical prefix'
to a Unix-type directory.
dired displays this as
c:\\\\artifical prefix
When I try to delete it with the D command, dired fails claiming that
this would mean deleting a directory. Which is, of course,
ridiculous but actually not related to the stupid file name.
shell-mode also has a problem with that file name. It does
completion to
rm c:\\artifical\ prefix
which is missing out on one of the two backslashes after c: and thus
fails.
Agreed, this is a pathetic file name, but I made it up to simulate
autoconf macros in pathetic environments that _have_ such file names.
