"Besides I strongly side with the fundamental design principle of a GUI: If
some object is already know to the system then you don't have to type in
its path and name to specify it for some action, but you only need to
point at it. To effectively support this principle we need some standard"

and pray how do you propose I point to a-ti[a-m]?io.adb which happened
to refer to about 20 files in a directory of may hundreds? Just to quote
from a command that happens to be sitting on my screen in another window.
