Comment:

 Unfortunately, only "/" and NUL are invalid in linux/unix filesystems.
 Even a semicolon would be an allowed filename character.  Because we won't
 use NUL as a separator and / is a directory delimiter, we must settle on a
 usable character for directory separators.

 See:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#cite_note-
 note-25-3

 With all that in mind, I'll be leaving this the same to remain consistent
 with the rest of Myth where similar separators are used.
