Here's *another* idea:
Eliminate the distinction between directories and files.
Every inode has a data "fork" and a "directory" fork.
You can thereby annotate a directory by writing to the
data fork and supply meta information for data files by
creating files in the "directory" fork. Simple. Cute.
Only requires figuring out semantics for the
struct-stat.st_mode field.
