Yes, the idea is that you can have

pathmap delete 3
pathmap delete 4-6
pathmap delete all

Deletions on the path are not very practical.

I suggest an "insert" subcommand:

pathmap insert <index> <from> <to>

It is like add but it lets the user specify after which entry it 
should be added.

This way there will be no parsing madness trying to decide if something
is a path or a number.
