Correct: file orientation is eventually a limitation.

But there are other dimensions to investigate in order to overcome it.
The issue is to offer a *location* for the possible versions -- not

A directory may be considered as a namespace.
Note that there are other cases of 'containers': archives, packages,
libraries, etc...
