Well currently, parsing \\?\unix doesn't seem to work with the shell, 
but we do have a pidl for /  (unix root), so such a pidl could 
theoretically be constructed (I'd say it's a current limitation of the 
shell but obviously an application could enumerate the Desktop and get 
the pidl for the / folder).

But I mean, in such case, what are we going to replace a pidl like 
|/|usr| into (assuming it's not accessible via any drive letter), as a 
windows path pidl? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something?
