path-is-absolute's Issues

pathIsAbsolute('C:/Users/'); is false

The README has the example:

var pathIsAbsolute = require('path-is-absolute');

// Windows
pathIsAbsolute('C:/Users/');
//=> true

When I try that, it is false. I have to use the pathIsAbsolute.win32 method to get it to return true.

I am using path-is-absolute 1.0.0 with node v4 on linux.
Is that method only supposed to work if my actual environment is windows? The documentation is unclear.
