Well, they require us to be able to uniquely identify a file, they do not
necessarily require us to know the canonical filename.  This could be done
in a single stat where we grab the device number and inode.

Yeah but on broken systems single stat's also stat each directory (AFAIK). I don't think it's any faster or at least not noticably.

Just want to correct myself. I don't think it's broken systems but I do think stat() is more or less the same as realpath(). It will still internally stat() each directory.
