Why do we want this?

That depends on who you ask.  My answer is this:

  'foo.tar.gz/foo/bar' or
  'foo.tar.gz/contents/foo/bar'

or something similar.

Others might suggest accessing streams, resource forks or extended
attributes through such an interface.  However this patch only deals
with the non-directory case, so directories would be excluded from
that interface.

here's a possibly stupid question. What about symlinks to dirs? namely the shells tend to treat them differently if postfixed with a slash or not.
