It would seem consistent with that to use '#' before each dimension. However, in the output files (e.g. '.err'), we use a '.' as separator. I don't know if Windows is the reason for that. A quick internet search suggested it isn't. I'll switch to that and hopefully you or someone else can tell me if it seems to work.
  
  
  I inserted a parent (https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4052) that changes the format of .err files and changed the separator here to #. I like this much better. Hopefully it works on Windows.
