But I do see a problem above; what if the literal file 'foo\bar' (a file
with a backslash in the name) existed?

Such a file cannot exist on Windows: the backslash character is not
allowed in a file name, unlike on Unix.

This MSDN page lists all the reserved characters, along with the other naming conventions on MSWin.
