Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

On Windows: get-childitem \\?\c:`

Expected behavior

Since `?` is escaped by the backtick, no globbing should occur

Actual behavior

Globbing occurs because the path has been unescaped somewhere removing the backtick.  You need to escape it twice: `get-childitem \\``?\c:\` to get it to work correctly.
