I agree, as technically, one should be able to mount HD's and maybe
even floppies from other systems, and use them the same as if they
were part of the computer the user is sitting at.  It would become
confusing (and not very Plan 9-like) to have to remember that /n/c: is
a remote HD and /mnt/c: is local, etc.  It seems that just using union
directories, one could bind both a remote and local HD onto /n/c:, and
everything is more transparent, to both programs and the user.  Not to
mention it's just plain easier to remember!
