What a pity that you already wasted weeks, if not months by making
sure that what unveil(2) does with file and directory names has
well-defined behaviour and is fully consistent, and that the behaviour
is designed in a way that can be documented fully and clearly, in
a way seeming so simple that the tricky design work preceding it
is totally hidden from the user.  All that time could have been
saved by realizing earlier what it is that the kids actually want!
