Except, in UNIX, one can have a completely *valid*
filename with
slashes in it. Or almost any other character in the system
character-set really.

Unix filenames can't have slashes in them (everything except slash
and null is allowed). All Unices that I know of would interpret a
path with slashes in it as a path with subdirectories, not a
filename.
