We have different concepts of the meaning of hiding. Following your
idea, binary formats are hidden in the kernel; to me, they are available
under /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc.

Let us see the specification:[1]

        PT_INTERP
        The array element specifies the location and size of a
        null-terminated path name to invoke as an interpreter.

This is exactly what I am doing: using a path name to "invoke as an
interpreter". No actual requirement is placed upon the filesystem.

As one of my users, could you give me a real example of such tool?

On the another hand, Debian does not follow specifications where it is
inconvenient. Does Debian support any AMD64 loaders that search
libraries only under lib64 subdirectories?
