It is. But Script Editor truncates the list when it displays the dictionary.

Other script editors mangle the list in one way or another, too.

You need to use ResEdit or a similar utility to see all the Path To

Looking at Standard Additions 1.3.7 (sounds like later versions are
similar) there are TWO sets of enumerators for "Path to", under "afdr" &
"afdm". These two sets have a fair bit of duplication (why?). The second
set is the one that contains path to front most application (aka current
application). It also appears that editors are all trained to look at the
first set of enums (SD2 shows the first set completely). Thanks to Chris
Nebel, we learned that even looking at the resource fork of the osax one
is not guaranteed to see all the supported folders ("favs", as he noted,
is nowhere to be seen) and again thanks to Chris, we know that the real
scoop can be found in Folders.h, but alas, Folders.h does not mention
"egfp"!
here's the list, extracted with the beta Terminology Extractor, chevrons
removed.
