Surely \ is a valid path on Windows.  Just open cmd.exe and run

    dir \

and it will list the files in the root directory of the current drive.

I agree that absoluteDir(`\`) returns a wrong result.  It should probably
return rootName(base) instead.  I'll take care of it.

Whether isRooted(`\`) should be true or false is just a matter of definition. 
`\` refers to the *root directory* of the current drive, so it made sense to me
to define it as true.  Redefining it now would be a breaking change.  If you
think it is worth it, it should at least be brought up for community discussion
first.
