If a file could be removed but still remain accessible
(via an open file descriptor) then that might suggest an implementation
where the file was distinct from its name.  Once that separation
existed then it might have been thought interesting to allow
multiple names for the same file.

Boyd,

Is it just me, or have you been gone the same period
that Rush Limbaugh has been in rehab?
