"[foo.bar.bletch]something.txt" Why is that better though - isn't that just sheer familiarity? NB It looks ugly to me as well but a lot of syntax looks ugly until you become familiar with it (C, PostScript, Lisp, Python all seemed pretty weird looking to me first time I used them and I came to really like all those languages over time).
