I'm still looking but is it possible to use mangled maps?

So in the context of the original query, there is no element "bug in user brain" - the users have simply been using what the OS allows. Interestingly, with OS X if I create a folder called Test/Folder, in a terminal shell ls shows it as Test:Folder.
