Your earlier suggestion that at some point they fixed the kernel build
so I can go "/path/to/dir /path/to/file.txt" (which didn't _used_ to
work, I tested it way back when) would presumably solve my problem
without kernel patches.

I just haven't been programming much since Gavin "spyware" Newsom passed
his stupid "age verification in the OS" bill
(https://mstdn.jp/@landley/116194386057190345) where every cloud
instance needs to report an "age" to Palantir, implying I'll have to
take mkroot down before Jan 1st to avoid $7k/download fines, and I'm
looking at maybe getting a job in healthcare or something.
