Either odd, or deeply traditional, if the author was a refugee from
Multics, which had '>' separators before anyone thought to use '/' (or gasp
'\' ), or its successor Stratus VOS, which followed suit.

Its other children, Unix, PRIMOS, and VMS, all did something else, of which
Unix's eventually won out.

(Good to hear from you, it's been a while.)
