You presently support Cygwin paths which prepend the appropriate /cygdrive/lower-case-drive-letter/. This can't be replicated using the ECMA/Javascript regular expressions for WSL Linux paths which are also case-sensitive (case sensitivity within WSL can be enabled or disabled through options and file attributes). However, WSL mounts all mapped drives as /mnt/lower-case-drive-letter/. Support for this would make pathing from Windows trivial (convenient).
