wp_normalize_path in plugin_dir_path

[sebastian.pisula]

I suggest use wp_normalize_path in plugin_dir_path

[ocean90]

@sebastian.pisula Can you explain why this would be needed?

[sebastian.pisula]

I use Windows and XAMPP. For code

<?php
var_dump( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ));

I have
string(55) "D:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\my-plugin/"

but should be

string(55) "D:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin/"

What's the expectation for having it using /?

I actually support adding it, although actually feel the existing result is the intended result, it's what's contained within ABSPATH and works perfectly fine on a windows system.

We don't really change/add things for the sake of adding it though, having a reason for why you expect it one way or another makes things much more valid.
