The problem is, if I want to associate a file with, say, "computers" and
"vaccuum cleaners", how do I layout my filesystem? (let's say the file
is a write-up about computer-controlled vaccuum cleaners)

Ok, now what about "all work-related e-mail I wrote about cars last
month"?

All of these queries can be "displayed" via a hierarchical file view,
but not simultaneously; you could of course build multiple "views" using
symlinks or unions or similar, but that's what I'd consider
"higher-level".
