Look at it from the usability standpoint. The problem is not the separator
character, the problem is the ambiguity of the account names in certain
situations.
Yes, one of the solutions is to implement a separator character that doesn't
conflict with current functionality, but satisfy the requirement to be a
distinguished separation character.
But this is not the only possible solution.

Yeah, dreams rarely come true. And often coming out weird, when they do.
