Nono, that's not what I mean - each of the filesystems fails if it
doesn't support what you're trying to do, that's given - but having a
different delimeter registered by the filesystem (and hence the
possibility of every single filesystem using a different delimeter) brings
about a completely different kind of inconsistency.
