Like Genera, the Explorer current practice is to use an object instead of
a string for the host component. The directory component is a list of
strings, not yet supporting the symbols specified in proposal
PATHNAME-SUBDIRECTORY-LIST; other than that, the Explorer conforms to
proposal PATHNAME-COMPONENT-VALUE:SPECIFY.
