Bug #4404: Make Dir.glob respect backslash as if slash in windows

Hello all.
Related to 

http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2625

I at times find myself using windows paths in glob's:

Dir[%!C:\Users\Public\Desktop\*!]

But it never works, as the backslash must be (manually, or programmatically) replaced by a forward slash.
Could we get the default behavior changed for windows on this? That would be swell.

Thank you!
