:Then sombody with nothing better to do will come along and do
:'foo("df0", "fi");' and get "df0/fi" and start yelling.
:The problem is that only the OS knows what are the
:legal device names.

	That is plain stupid.  If you want DF0: you SAY DF0:, if you want
a subdirectory called df0, you SAY df0... Not even an idiot would specify
DF0: as DF0 without the colon.  I mean, come on now... how about some
practical arguments.
