And that pretty much ends the discussion. When working inside this

Again, you are wrong.
BSD is a portable API. posix is portable API. The very same stands for
shell scripts. Cocoa should be a portable API, though Apple has messed up
OpenStep considerably.
Therefore, if a filesystem wants to work under it, *IT* has to support
what's needed -- not by dirty tricks like the special names, but by a way
which can be reconciled with the *STANDARD* techniques of BSD, posix,
shell scripts, OpenStep, whatever. If it does not, it's its fault -- in
this case, the blame is on the side of HFS+.
