The list of paths would begin and end with the delimiter, and the delimiter
would exist inbetween each path in the list. The delimiter would not be any
character in any of the paths. The delimiter would be chosen from the list

  ;,`'<>|=+ 

Using this method, you just need to look at the first character to know what the
delimiter is and then pick out the paths from the list. Adding a new path would
just reexamine all the paths for one of the allowable delimiters that doesn't
exist in an of the existing or new path.

Yes. Read the code first to understand it.
