Description

> I would also agree with having one version and like @chetannanda wonder whether the `/` could confuse some things.
>
> On a related "separators" topic, was this amendment ever made to allow studios to choose their preferred separator for aliases:
> https://lists.aswf.io/g/ocio-user/message/565
>
> Currently the config is full of aliases using `_` as the word separator which makes them much harder to use predictably in filenames

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #74 and the linked ASWF message, then inspect the current aliases in the configuration to understand how `_` is used as a word separator. Done means the configuration supports a clearly defined preferred alias separator without making filenames ambiguous.
