Comment (by james):

 I assumed that the version flip would be done by updating the config file,
 because I didn't see a reason for being able to query against different
 versions. (If the version represents different concurrent available
 versions of a corpus rather than an index or set-of-indexes version, that
 assumption wouldn't hold.)

 Isn't it most common these days to use colons to separate paths? We could
 move `DB` to `DBS` over a number of releases using a different separator.
 That feels more usual to me than being able to configure the separator
 (which feels a bit `sed s!!!` ish).

 We'd still need to be careful about `..` and friends, which I assumed was
 to avoid this issue in `DB` entirely.
