I like the idea of using a non-displayable character to conceal the
presence of a directory.  I also like the idea of using it on the end of
a file name in order to make it hard to establish addressability to the
file.

I like it now almost as much as I did when I first read the idea in the
readers' contributions to PC Magazine.
