I am against enhancement of this type.

/proc is gate to processes [/proc is a mess of many things on linux]
/dev/fd is gate to file descriptors
/etc/mnttab is gate to mounted filesystems
/devices is gate to devices
/usr/bin/sh is bourne shell
...

I think, that user do not need usualy known system config parameters (but 
mount, df, ps ...).
There are userland tools such as /usr/sbin/sysdef (that calls "group s-bit" 
/usr/sbin/i86/sysdef or /usr/sbin/amd64/sysdef to access and interpret 
parameters from /dev/kmem).
Programs can get some parameters with sysconfig(2) syscall.
