Actually, it's probably not, because HFS can't store a file with a ":" in
it, but can store a file with a "/" in it. But the UNIX stuff means much of
the OS can't handle a file with a "/" in it, so it gets mapped to ":" for
the OS. But some Mac APIs can't handle the ":" so that gets mapped back to
"/".

Ideally, code should not even be aware of what the path separator is. Always use the system provided methods to concatenate and split paths (NSURL, CFURL, NSString, FSRefs), then your code couldn't care less if 10.7 should introduce HFS++Extreme with 'e' as path separator.
