[Dovecot] MAILBOXDIR question

[Stewart Dean]

I'm unclear about where and how this is to be used.  I gather it is to 
be a new standard, but I didn't seem to find anything about it in the 
Dovecot Wiki Mail Location page.  There are some words about it in the 
1.1.12/3 release notes, but perhaps I'm thick, but they're 
meta-ambiguous to me.
Is it meant to be used like this:

mail_location = mbox:MAILBOXDIR=~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
instead of the current
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

???

Sorry to be so dense.
