> Most of the uses for "forky files" apply to executables, though.
What, exactly, are the ``uses for "forky files"''? Most people seem to
assume it is somehow necessary to store per file icons (which I think is
wrong, I want per file *type* icons, which I'll be happy to define
elsewhere) and file type (which /etc/magic seems to deal with just fine)
along with each file. Why? And what other meta information is it
necessary to store?
I don't mean to sound condescending or anything; I am genuinely
curious, since it apparently is so obvious to everybody that this is a
necessity, and I just don't get the point.
