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.
