It works like that, except the opposite way. With LAYOUT=fs the default
separator is '/' because the hierarchies are separated by the '/'
directory separator. With Maildir++ it's '.', because the separator in
disk is '.'.

So only the layout determines what hierarchy separator is in use. Of
course, each mailbox format has their default layout.

This is only tangentially related, please forgive me for that, but is there any automated way to convert an existing hierarchy of '.'-separated folders to a LAYOUT=fs configuration?
