we do a match against are internal canonicalized form, which uses '/'
and not '\'. So I don't expect it to match.

One option would be to internally canonicalize the headings. Though you
run into some small issues with '\' being the escape character.

I think part of the problem is when it will/won't bite you. For example,
you may be fine doing:

C:\path

but then try to do

C:\todo

And it fails because '\t' is a valid escape for 'TAB'. Or

C:\newstuff

Suddenly thinks it needs a '\n'.

So whatever we *do* we need to be careful about consistency.
