Subject: Using symlinks to implement views
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2005 07:05:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <426F9C28.60405@namesys.com> (raw)

I propose that if a mask contains a symlink, that it be a fallthru to 
where the link points to, and that it transform the name being looked up 
in the manner usual for symlinks that are followed.

I believe the result will be a small amount of code, and it will 
effectively implement views.  Am I right?  If yes, send me back a more 
rigorous definition for it so that I can confirm I was understood.

Hans
