When reviewing the PEP 3151 implementation (*), Ezio commented that "FileSystemError" looks a bit strange and that "FilesystemError" would be a better spelling. What is your opinion? I don't think it really matters since both "file system" and "filesystem" appear to be in common usage. I would say +1 to "FileSystemError" -- i.e. take file system as two words.

My online dictionaries prefer "file system" to be two words, so for me, FileSystemError is preferred.
