Exactly (right now we can be glad that BeOS has so few users that want

Not sure about that - of course, they can be removed in the kernel, but
I am sure about that in userland.
I think a manual unmount or deletion of the file/directory with the
reparse point would also remove it.
It that turns out to be a little too less, we can still add it, but I
don't consider it right now.
