I've not, so pardon me if I make a bad assumption (and slap me for it,
too), but doesn't introducing a new namespace segregate the streams from
the files/directories, thus introducing an artifical separation which
isn't really there? (Pretty much why I'm more in favour of a specific API
for reading streams, extended attributes and whatnot, over any of the
other solutions thus suggested).
