Which docs? Anyway, it’s nil on *nix platforms. I’m not sure about

There’s always RUBY_PLATFORM.match(‘mswin’)

md #{File.join("c:","foo")} fails as well. STDERR contains ‘The
syntax of the command is incorrect’.
In other languages, like Java, the path separator constant/method is
used to abstract the knowledge of which operating system is in play.
Can it not be so in Ruby?
