Is this actually what we want?

The // syntax is how we represent these things to the kernel, and how
the kernel reports them back, but I think we wanted to keep either our
existing syntax, or move to a "hat blah { ... }" syntax rather than the
"^blah { ... }" syntax we have now -- but no plans to remove the hat
contents from the profiles completely..

Thanks
