Except the shell.  Anywhere through the API is OK, but not the shell.
Don't worry, I'm sure it's just an oversight and they'll restrict it
to only '\' in the next release.  (Pardon the cynicism.)

The problem is that the built-in shell commands (and most others)
treat '/' as the option character.

One work around is to get another shell.

I *think* you can separate commands for the NT shell with either "^"
or "&" (only one of them, but I don't remember which).
