 New Comment:

Constants should have clear names to help readability. If you want something 
shorter you can easily do
    const DS = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
or using define(). If you have issue typing names correctly you can also get an 
IDE.

Description:
------------
Really hope there is a DS alias for DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, and PATH_SEPARATOR.

because it's too easy to make a typo, these keywords are hard to type.

$path = 'root' . DS . 'to' . 'path' . DS . 'subpath' . DS . 'subpath' . DS . 
'file.txt';

rather than:

$path = 'root' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'to' . 'path' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 
'subpath' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'subpath' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'file.txt';

the later is uglier.
