Question:

Is there any platform out there that uses something than its directory
separator to signify a root directory?  (To put it another way, what's
the weirdest hierarchical filesystem out there?)


ADFS? It was used on the Archimes machines from acorn.

'$' was used for the root directory and '.' was the directory separator.
So a full name was something like:

:MediaName.$.sub1.sub2.file


Okay, I would agree, that's a little weird. :-P
