However, this is not possible under Windows platform, since the
character #\\ is used as the separator for directories for Windows path
name.
For example, we say #P"C:\\test.txt".

As a result, "\\[" will work exactly as "[" which will be an error, which
prompts:
... SB-KERNEL:NAMESTRING-PARSE-ERROR ...
 parse error in namestring: #\[ with no corresponding #\]

Adding the "\\", the only effect is tuning the DIRECTORY component into
"(:absolute)"
if we use another name without wildness

So this is a bug.
