I'd be very wary of trying to fool the operating system with things it
isn't expecting. At one point I managed to create a file with a name
that ended with ".txt " (note the trailing space). I could see it by
displaying the directory, but the file was inaccessible to either the
file system or any utility I threw at it. That file stayed right where
it was until the hard drive finally died.
