I agree some visual character such as '~' would be much more clear.
The current '//' notation associates some meaning to the absence of a step
between the separators.
It much easier to accociate meaning to the presence of something (such '~')
than the absence of something ('//').
The other thing that is ugly is that you can't just say '//' without
providing step after the last slash.
Its strange to provide an abbreviation that requires a subsequent token.
