[issue11252] Handling statement OR assignment continuation '\' on Win32 platform

lukasz.langa, confirming the difference in return values for glob.glob() on Win32/Cygwin vs. Linux as the following results show:

--------------------------------------------------------
F1()
ret_val1
     F2(ret_val1)
ret_val2

--
\\\
Cygwin
///
--
string.split() 
/
     glob.glob('/')
['/']

string.split()
\
     glob.glob('\')
['\\']

--
\\\
Win32
///
--
string.split()
/
     glob.glob('/')
['/']

string.split()
\
     glob.glob('\')
['\\']

--
\\\
Linux
///
--
string.split()
/
     glob.glob('/')
['/']

string.split()
\
     glob.glob('\')
[]
--------------------------------------------------------
For my education, is there a reason why glob.glob('\') on Win32/Cygwin returns ['\\'] instead of [] in Linux ?
