And y'all will probably find some broken path-parsing DCL code with
concealed, rooted logical names.
For best problem-finding effect here, also use the <.> syntax in place
of [.] syntax.
OpenVMS itself got that filename parsing wrong within the PCSI utility,
among various other tools.
This as the OpenVMS path-parsing APIs are most charitably referred to
as "inadequate".
