std.algorithm.splitter on string inserts \\ for every occurrence of \

[WhatMeWorry via Digitalmars-d-learn]

string path = environment["PATH"];  // get the value of the env 
variable PATH.

writeln("Path is ", path);
writeln();

auto paths = std.algorithm.splitter(path, ";");
writeln("Paths are ", paths);


Path is 
E:\dmd2\windows\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32...

Paths are ["E:\\dmd2\\windows\\bin", "C:\\Windows\\system32", 
"C:\\Windows", "C:\\Win...


The function is perfect except it converts \ to \\.

I presume this is because D uses the \ character as an escape 
character?

Thanks in advance.
