My feeling is that ports shouldn’t have to deal with paths because
that’s a separate concern. The %file-port-name-canonicalization fluid
seems like an inelegant hack to me.
When applications have special requirements about paths, then it should
be up to the application logic to deal with that.
Thanks,
