Did you consider simply letting a "drive_letter:" prefix

There's a subtle point here which means we need a real prefix.
Ordinary paths should all be prefixed by "/".
It seems we could say that paths prefixed by "\" or "C:" would be
treated as Windows paths, although I don't think I like the
implicitness going on. But in any case this doesn't work. We might
have some mixed path like: "/windows\system". "win:/windows\system"
works (and "/windows\system" also works under Windows).
