Not quite. From Cocoa (or BSD, posix, shellscript, you-name-it, actually
anything but the one proprietary Carbon niche!!!) point of view of course
the exact opposite is true: some applications dare to put their data into
files by a quite strange, non-standard, and haphazard way (of storing
those data into another file, which uses the original filename as it was a
folder -- terrible and quite non-standard idea!). Therefore, it is
*utterly natural* that such data are lost.
