Hmm. It's a sticky problem, and actually, it's not just the file
system we need to think about. Ideally, we want a scheme that can
name an object in VSTa, and let that object be renamed, moved,
deleted, etc. etc. Things like processes, ports, etc. could be
candidates for such operations.
I have a feeling that we should define some protocol used for such
actions; it would be very useful for other things besides file
systems (for example, having named ports etc).
Such a change might require quite a lot of work though... depending on
how far we want to take the idea of "object".
