=This in intentional.  In effect, "+foo" expands to "$folder/foo" but "+"

=+/foo^D will work, too, so I don't see how the / is "misleading".  

Because the "+" implies the folders, not just the directory they are stored in.
As the person who wrote the program, you are thinking about how you implemented
"+" rather than what it means.

Shouldn't "~w" mean the home directory of user "w"?
