We'd need a POSIX file system to claim this, and DOS is not it.

Maybe it's time for DJGPP to expand into the 32-bit DOS clone area?
We could start with Freedos (it's gpl) and rewrite the FAT drivers for
true long and case sensitive names, real symlinks, and FAT32.

Imagine a 32-bit DOS that uses up around 3k of conventional memory,
leaving ALL high and upper memory available, even with all your
drivers installed...
