    I consider the "path name vs. inode" question to be unresolved.  Chris is
    looking into the various proposals to see how well they work, and what
    kind of performance penalty they impose.  He is hitting problems, which
    may or may not be solvable.  Pending results, the name based hooks may
    need to come back.
