      [Applied]

      The current URL convention allows querying the cross-join of entity sets via requests targeting the entity container.

      This leads to potential name clashes:

      GET ~/Foo.Fred.Waldo

      can be a query targeting the entity container Waldo in schema Foo.Fred, or a query targeting entity set Waldo in container Fred of schema Foo.

      This clash can be avoided by using a path segment, similar to the path segment /$all that we use to address the union of all entities in a container.
