OpenAFS could benefit from something like IFS, although I'm not volunteering
to do the work.  The client has complicated code to keep its thousands of
cache files in a hierarchy just to reduce name lookup time, and the server
originally used a special "open by inode" system call that had been hacked
in to the kernel.
