Hmm. You are probably right.

This is the dreaded g.os_path_normslashes. We have to be extremely careful
about this issue. The draft PR #3264
<https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/pull/3264> supports only '/'
within path expressions, and then only to separate '..' items, so I *think*
the draft is good.

The PR would be broken if you had to change any of your existing outlines
that *don't* already use path expressions.

Another hmm. It seems like a great idea and I'm not sure exactly what Leo
already does.
We should try for maximum readability and clarity in the path expressions.

Exactly. That's all the PR allows.

Let's get the basics working first.
This kind of hack is why I suggested writing scripts as a workaround.
Thomas, please review the PR. Thanks.
