A second AR should deal with a NAME field of some sort for strings.  I''ve proposed a function TRUENAME which would initially do a LISTGET on the OTHERPROPS field of the stream (for a TRUENAME property), and failing that, would fetch any litatom found in the FULLFILENAME field.  Future extensions to the file ssytems we deal with may require a more interactive "name" finding mechanism -- in particular I''m thinking of file systems with indirect aliasing.'
