As do I.  Just because other filesystems attempt to use the name for both the
purpose of naming and the purpose of identifying file type doesn't mean that it
is a good idea or that MPE need follow suit.

          ==========================================================
If a nonnegative quantity was so small that it is smaller than any given
one, then it certainly could not be anything but zero. To those who ask what
the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that it is
actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this concept
as they are usually believed to be. These supposed mysteries have rendered
the calculus of the infinitely small quite suspect to many people. Those
doubts that remain we shall thoroughly remove in the following pages, where
we shall explain this calculus.
