Interesting. Earliest releases of Mac OS {which I never used) MFS similarly
lacked directories. "Folder" membership was instead an attribute in the
catalog entry of any file. But no two files, even "in" different folders could
have identical names. Later, HFS filled the gap, leaving bizarre conventions
to distinguish relative paths from absolute, required for compatibility.
