 In general:
-    =	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)

-    '&' [ ',' | ';' ] [ lc | '/' ]
+    '&' [ '^' | '~' ] [ lc | '/' ]
