    I personally would like plugins only if the API they use wouldn't allow
    them to corrupt the underlying fs, I'm not sure if this is the case with
    reiserfs4.

    About the backwards compatibility, another option is to add a O_FILEDIR
    and have bash learn about it when you cd into a file. No magic with the
    slashes then.
