thank you.  i suppose the .renamin technique was adopted to allow
patching binaries.  to draw things back to plan 9,
i thought the following rule was interesting:

``for a binary to expect a file at a specific full pathname is bad practice.''

curiously, that is regarded as standard practice and
perhaps even essential for both Plan 9 and Inferno.
o tempora, o mores!
