Yes absolutely. Yes, my relational model *does* uses standard
directories, with three differences.

1) foofs's internal implementation of link-directories and "other"
directories might be different. Or it might not. Entirely unimportant
at this level.

2) gc might treat some link-directories differently to
predicate-directories. (If Bob and Mike have been deleted, I don't
want /(something)/father-son/aardvark/ lying around.)

3)
