I like the [] syntax. ZODB works this way when the subpath name is not
a valid Python identifier. a.b['c-d'] would be like a/b/c-d if ZODB
was a filesystem. I like the + syntax.

No one has suggested overloading the > operator?

p1 > p2 > p3

The < operator would keep its normal use for sorting. ;-)
