As far as I know there's no such option.  It seems to me this is really
called for and somebody should implement it.  Along these lines there
should be another /proc option which finally allows Linux users to use
the beloved backslashes as path separators.  I can't understand why
Linus deliberately changed the path separator from backslash to slash,
thus undermining an industry standard.  Intolerable.
