Maybe the NTFS engine could add the dot to the access interface. For
example, when nautilus or bash asks for reading/writing of .hidden or
..system, the NTFS driver would automatically seek for a real
hidden/system file (except when real .hidden or ..system really exists).
This way all applications that use the NTFS driver would gain access to
the system/hidden information by just querying the single/double dot in
the filenames. How about this?
