I'm not sure I agree that your change to pathname syntax is what is
wanted. For instance, in the case where alternate links/filenames
are used to provide network redundancy, the command
$ catf //{node1,node2}/sys/help/ld.hlp
should display only one of the files, probably with a preference
for the version on node1, whereas in
$ dlf work/{version1,version2}/junk
I probably want to delete two files.
The generalization of the original idea to modifications of pathname
syntax sounds interesting, but I would think that it would require
careful scrutiny to make sure all the ramifications were understood.
