Pathnames with backslash

There was a change in the behavior of pathnames beginning
with the Apr-13 snapshot. Now, it seems that anything with
a backslash in it is considered a Win32 path:
$ cygpath -w '/cygdrive/c\cygnus'
\cygdrive\c\cygnus
$ cygpath -w '/cygdrive/c/cygnus'
c:\cygnus
Before Apr-13 these produced the same results.
I had been assuming that slash and backslash were interchangeable
in Cygwin. Is this an intentional/desirable change?
Thanks,
Eric Fifer
