Is there a more efficient way of doing this sort of thing?

   a_preceding_path := parent.path
    if STRING_.same_string (a_preceding_path, "/") then
	Result := STRING_.concat (a_preceding_path, node_name)
    else
	Result := STRING_.concat (a_preceding_path, "/")
	Result := STRING_.appended_string (Result, node_name)
	Result := STRING_.appended_string (Result, "[")
	Result := STRING_.appended_string (Result, simple_number)
	Result := STRING_.appended_string (Result, "]")
    end
