Hmmm. The filesystem layout changes that I've proofed, and had
accepted
for incorporation, changes this. Filenames are munged to allow
arbitrary
characters, and so '/' is escaped.
Would it be possible to keep the current behaviour or deal with the
issue of lots of files in a single directory in another way?

I understand the need to escape everything, but would it be too
difficult to
split on '/' and and escape each part? This is the first I'm
learning of
this feature and I'm already missing it.
My concern is that this is an implementation leakage. And if applied
uniformly (say to view names) it would get messy.
