    Fine. Then it's a file with named streams.

    If both

    myfile

    and

    myfile/resource

    become valid strings to pass to the "open" syscall then I get upset.

    Fine now I'm using your terminology. Does that help you understand
    what I'm trying to say? I think you're just playing dumb. That doesn't
    help a discussion.

    The reason I get upset is that old utilities like "tar" will no longer
    work. Too many things won't work. So, my suggestion is to stay away
    from that design.

    Roger.
