And I forgot to add earlier: No path component should be "." or 
"..". On Windows, situation's much worse -- you can't have any 
device name as a file name (e.g., "nul", the windows equivalent to 
"/dev/null", virtually exists in every directory on every device) -- 
but that can't be solved by placing structural limits on file names.
