   If computer file systems had been designed by persons with secretarial   
   experience, perhaps they'd be less brain-damaged.   
      
   Even now it's an arbitrary limitation against more than one file having the   
   same file name in a directory, even when there are plenty of practical use   
   cases for having multiple files with the same name in a directory with   
   differing modification or creation dates. An intelligent user interface   
   would notice this plurality and would allow differentiation based on date or   
   whatever other distinguishing attribute.
