Path does not properly split windows path when running on non-windows Os

[kaifastromai]

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
    let p=std::path::Path::new("test1\\test2\\test3");
    
    println!("{:?}",p.components().last())
}

The result I would expect should be "test3", but it instead returns the entire path item. An example can be seen on the playground

The behavior of the std::path module is platform-dependent. On unix inputs are treated as unix-paths, on windows as windows-paths. So this is expected behavior.

#66621 proposes a potential solution, so I'm closing this as a dupe of that.
