This token expands your ProPath to use every module path. You should just add the paths you want instead of using it. We hate this token for a number of reasons:
1. Slows down performance since a large ProPath must be searched.
2. Allows you to make a mistake and reference and object without an explicit path (calling just "program.p" when you meant to call "code/program.p").
3. You don't know what ProPath to create at your end user sites since you just used the global token in testing.
4. It can blow out some limits if you have too many modules.
Instead, explicitly place your additional paths in the workspace path, for example:
/ws/devel,
/ws/devel/src,
/ws/devel/includes
