as I've stated elsewhere in this thread for other reasons, there is a need for a separate path class/concept. A path could have constructor taking a string and an optional separator. The path would expose iterators ala boost::filesystem.
I have toyed with that idea (path objects) when I was thinking about configurable separators. The reason why I used it was because I thought it might complicate interface, at least conceptually, if not syntactically. Simplicity of use was generally #1 goal, otherwise people would just prefer to use MSXML, Expat, TinyXML etc. I might need to reconsider it if I add key policies to traits. Best regards, Marcin
