The character used by the OS to separate pathname components,
e.g. \code{'/'} for \POSIX{} or \code{':'} for the Macintosh. Note that
knowing this is not sufficient to be able to parse or concatenate
pathnames --- better use \function{os.path.split()} and
\function{os.path.join()}---but it is occasionally useful.
