It will have to support whitespace in filenames but I haven't decided how to
escape it yet. Backslashes are a good idea but so is seperating them by
line. However if I'm looking for newlines in may become awkward in the code.
Either way it will have to be resolved.
If anyone else has any opinions

There are definitely cases where Divert-To would be needed; Tollef has
pointed out one, another is when diverting a shared library because you
have to divert to a completely different directory to ensure ldconfig
