> Normalize slashes in a file path to be posix/unix-like forward slashes. Also condenses repeat slashes to a single slash and removes and trailing slashes, unless disabled.
Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
* a check was added to ensure that [win32 namespaces](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#namespaces) are handled properly by win32 `path.parse()` after a path has been normalized by this library.
* a minor optimization was made to simplify how the trailing separator was handled
