God, no! Why make things a pain in the ass for those who need to go
inside a package? There are many reasons to do this that the author may
not have thought of ahead of time. For example, take a launcher like
DragThing. Maybe the user wants to go inside the app bundle and change
the Info.plist so it is an LSUIElement and doesn't take up a space in
the Dock. There are many legitimate reasons to go inside the app
bundle, and making this difficult just creates an annoyance for users.
