I don't think the r/o is immaterial.
How many other r/o references produce a multi-item list?
Normally, you get a single reference as a result - a container, a file, a
URL, whatever.
I can't think of anything other than "entire contents" that behaves in this
way (I'm probably wrong, but it's Sunday and I haven't woken up yet).
It looks *wrong* and it behaves badly - and it's been a source of complaint
since it was introduced...
