If you only use / as a char in the first position and only allow
one / for a separator, like [/] or [math//], then it is doable,
and that covers basically all of the cases that we need it for.

so, is [/~] a way to say [~] in the root namespace, or [~] in the
root directory, or [/~] in the default namespace?

"/" is only a separator, just like Python's or Java's "." therefore [/ ~] is unambiguous.
