Aha... Add GUI and it will look like Win2000 ;))

Hmm... What about "implicit mounting"? I mean - it should not be necessary
to mount a file system somewhere in _existing_ file structure.
Just do it - Virtual Name Space (VNS):
mount --vns /some/device/etc /completely/non-existent/path
Would be nice, eh? :) At least in presence of special option, to force
it if it does not exist. If it _does_ exist - the old content will not
be used anyway, so we lose nothing, IMHO.
I personally hate this (current) idea - to use existing paths as mountpoints
(once I forgot to move content from mountpoint, and... it took several hours
to find out where it is :))).
