Branch paths are just lists of integers. These two components allow
you to convert paths into integer lists and vice versa.
Paths can also instantiate themselves from Strings. So you can plug
"1;0;2;4" into a path parameter and it will parse that.

Agreed.

Probably. Looks like I'll have to come up with something like Regular
Expressions for paths.
