metas is much less likely than what clearcase uses to be hit
accidentally (After all these years I forget what exactly clearcase
special cases, maybe it was "@@"). When people using clearcase suffer a
namespace collision, life goes on, no big deal, they structure a
filename slightly differently and so what? I mean, just how much do we
suffer from not being able to use '/' in filenames? Every once in a
while it is annoying, but not that much....
