In fact, with userfs, I believe it's possible to do massively pathological things like having a filesystem which treats anagrams as the same file (foo is the same file as oof or ofo). (More realistically, MacOS does Unicode normalisation).

Nitpick: Mac OS X doesn't do Unicode normalization. The default filesystem implementation does.
