It might be possible to write a filename handler which matches all
filenames.  Given the string "foo", the handler could look if the file
"foo.lnk" exists and then DTRT.  If "foo.lnk" does not exist, it could
fall back to the default behavior.

Then only file operations which do not go through the filename handler
machinery could be problematic.

Thoughts?
