That's a fine convention; I'm familiar with MacOS paths. The fact that David Goodger and I were both confused might indicate that the proposed syntax might not be as intuitive as you'd like, but I don't think it'll take long to get used to.

I think the only problem was that it might not have been explained clearly enough.
