Perhaps, I'm wrong, but I don't believe there's an *explicit* convention; however, as far as I've seen, it typically is used for function variants (more specifically, I *usually* see it used to distinguish multiple functions which do more or less the same thing with different input forms).

To quote Neil Van Dyke: "Pronounce the '/' as 'with' [...] Sometimes it's for a variation in behavior, or composition of behaviors, sometimes it's just a shorthand for the word 'with', and sometimes it's something else." Source: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users/archive/2011-September/048044.html

Is there an explicit strategy for the use of / in function names, “overlay/xy”, “scale/xy” and so on?
