    No. Let's not do that.

    We ban only things that do not make sense. That was true of trying to
    share signal handlers with different address spaces. But it is _not_ true
    of having separate file descriptors for different threads.

    I don't imagine anybody cares _that_ deeply about fuser that it can't
    afford to recurse into thread directories.

    And it may or may not make sense to not have a "/proc/<nn>/task/<yy>/fd"
    directory at all if the thread shares file descriptors with the thread
    group leader. That would be a fairly easy optimization.
