use ... to specify path in i_am()?

This may be a picky point, but the only way to use i_am() with a compound path is to provide the file separator. I understand that one of the goals of {here} is to abstract the file separator away from the user.

Could the ... argument in i_am() be implemented the same way as it is for here()?

I see from the i_am() documentation that ... is reserved for future use, could this be it?

Thanks!

actually this will be easily solved by adding path <- do.call(file.path, as.list(path)) after the empty dots check in i_am code. Also changing the description to show that path accepts a character vector of any size.
Edit : path <- paste0(path, collapse=.Platform$file.sep) will work too :)

Thanks for raising this. I think these days / works as a file separator everywhere? What's the motivation behind splitting the path?

I think the only motivation was to keep parity with here() - if you are used to ... working there, you might expect for it to work with i_am(). Otherwise, I agree that / has become standard.
