Significance is relevant. I have no idea how many people use B3D. And I 
can't remember if Blender outputs the directory separator as a "\" or 
"/". (I have stopped using it until some of the bug reports I have 
submitted, have been fixed.)

It is possible to get B3D to export bespoke code. So we could set a flag 
telling the parser that the directory separator was "\".
e.g. windoze_separator = true
If that would help cut down the complexity.

Which reminds me. I use that facility to overwrite the version number 
B3D exports by declaring it after the first one. Will that workaround 
still work?

Best friend. :-)
