SubjectRe: The argument for fs assistance in handling archives

V13> I believe you mean something simillar to:

V13> file1.txt;1
V13> file1.txt;2

Or TOPS-20, a precursor to VMS in some ways. It was a nice feature.

It was usually an automatic cleanup past a certain point or if you
went over disk quota.

In any case, while I do like this feature, I'm not sure how we would
cleanly implement this inside the unix namespace, or if inside a new
namespace, how that new namespace would be joined with a standard Unix
one.
