Steps to reproduce

On macOS or Linux touch '1\2'
Try mv 1\2 2, try rm 1\2

The real-world example of when you are getting \ without knowing it is https://github.com/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive/issues/11

The problem happens not only with Compress-Archive, but with other archive programs too. So macOS users need a way to bulk-rename files with \ in the name and PS doesn't provide a way to do it at the moment.

UPD: same problem for paths like [foo].

Expected behavior

PowerShell should be able to perform the operations

Actual behavior

Paths are getting normalized to 1/2

rm : Cannot find path '/Users/vors/dev/PowerShell/1/2' because it does not exist.
