Yes, I am working on that.  It would have been nice if IS_DIR was not
already taken by trees, but one can't have everything.  So I need to
decide how to represent the node, and it would appear that I need to
angle for "file" after all.  Since it is really quite closer to a file
or symlink than to a tree or project.  Hm, perhaps a symlink might be
more expedient.  Make it have an empty reference, and it is unique.
And there will be fewer places in the code manipulating symlinks than
files.
