View getName with subdirs involved uses system DS

[lukefor]

Makes defining view composers awkward. This method should probably return a dot as the separator, as is the standard elsewhere in laravel.

Actually just realised this is the fault of my code. But it should perhaps be sanitised anyway..

Hi @darkimmortal,

Actually everywhere in L4 where you are referring directly to the filesystem a / is used (not a directory separator as / is encouraged on Windows as well).

For example:

1. Config::get('foo/bar.baz.bat.qux); // where the file is config/foo/bar.php
2. Lang::get()
3. View::make()

This behaviour is consistent throughout the framework. Dot-notation is used typically when accessing data.

No, with views in the docs, dots are used

http://four.laravel.com/docs/responses
http://laravel.com/docs/views

If you use anything other than dots, it works, but view composers have to match exactly what is used. Kind of weird behaviour.
