Here, in France, anyone called Jean is a man. In | English-speaking zones, it's a woman. You could run into troubles by 'type-interpreting | based on name'. Agreed. | Just my .02 cents (of euros, not dollars; almost the same thing today). Not Canadian dollars... again, "words mean what I want them to mean" said Humpty Dumpy, You forgot to mention that http://a.b.c/d.e/f.g.h can run: /d /d.e /d.e/f /d.e/f.g /d.e/f.g.h /d.e/f.g.h/default.whatever So filenames should be for names, not types. If you've ever tried mixing Hungarian notation with object orientation, you'll run up against the same (big) problem. Names are names and types are types, they are, and should be, unrelated.
