 In general:
-    =  return subdir without delimiter (not allowed with `,' `;')
-    ,   pathname of this subdirectory in source tree
-    ;   pathname of top level of source tree
+    =  return subdir without delimiter (not allowed with `^' `~')
+    ^   pathname of this subdirectory in source tree
+    ~   pathname of top level of source tree
     /  terminates the escape (needed if next is not lwsp or space)
   lwsp  starts multi-word processing (see below)
 
 So pathname syntax is a subset of:
-    '&' [ ',' | ';' ] [ lc | '/' ]
+    '&' [ '^' | '~' ] [ lc | '/' ]

        Convenience syntax for prefixing multiple filenames.
        Introduced by & followed by lwsp where lc could go.
        Each lwsp-separated non-ws word is prefixed by &/ etc.
