We had this discussion a while ago, and the conclusion was that it was not a
good idea.  There is already a folder.
We can see it as an operating system flaw that the INIT scanner does not search,
for example, System Folder:INITs or something.
It is very user-unfriendly to make two different kinds of folders, that are only
a difference for the computer, and not for the user.  This is only puzzling.
