Hi!

Is it good idea security-wise? It looks like symlink but does not
behave like one. (And yes, I know we already have similar problems in
/proc..)

ptrace-may-trace is not good enough protection; I can do  this on my
own thread to get around read-only protection on fd. (File can be
protected from me by directory permissions.)
