This raises this issue of whether elements in `load-path' can have
backslashes (or other syntax on VMS? not that we support VMS anymore,
but I'm feeling nostalgic :).

I always assume `load-path' has canonical Emacs file name format, but
the doc string doesn't say that, and on Windows it would seem "natural"
to add directory file names with backslashes.
