    No, you are thinking about the write-out of the finished result,
    which may have to turn existing directory to a file or vice versa on
    the filesystem, but that happens _after_ we decide what to turn into
    what else, completely in-core.

    And the decision to determine what the input _means_ should not
    depend on the order of patches in the input.
