FTR, I am *not* worried about supporting older uses. I was just anticipating that someone might be. As far as I am concerned we can pretty much any aspect of the path expression (but let's do that after flipping the flag).

Ah, I didn't realise this was so diverse. `:` would still be my first choice, but I'd be fine with the other options as well...
