Good point, probably usage of virtual names was a bad idea. I did not
proposed it to demostrate it, I just known Windows virtual system was
a bit messy. Virtual would work if we can make it work everywhere (so
you can call it real too), otherwise you are asking for problematic
exceptions. :-/

I guess we should go with show real name plus description if user
requests it, so you will see bin/ and Applications/, and both will
have Applications as description (= friendly name, just a few words).

Thanks.
