This exactly my point. This fact is nowhere stated in the documentation.

I'm actually not talking about the plugin at all. (I'm very sorry that
I've replied to your listescape reply, my bad.)

The documentation only mentions that the separator can be changed by
setting the `separator` option. But it doesn't explain what it actually
does and why one wanted to do so in the first place.

e.g. Someone uses the default. Then changes it to something else. What
happens then? (you answered it already partly - clients might be confused).

But if the filesystem always used the . for Maildir, why would somebody
want to change the separator (without the plugin)?
