Look, guys, if you feel obligated to drag this discussion out,
you should go back and check the posting that started it.  The
problem is not that a user DESIRED to have a pathname COMPONENT
with a slash embedded in it; the problem is that a deficient
implementation ALLOWED one to be created, but it was much more
difficult to fix the situation once it had occurred.  If you
don't by now know how this could have occurred, you should not
be prolonging the discussion.
