It would hurt overall performance if we do it at the directory API level, so the same logic does not apply.
I'm not advocating adding it to the directory API. I'm saying if we don't care about it at that level, then we shouldn't care about it in fusion, and we certainly shouldn't add that functionality to fusion where it doesn't exist in native fusion.
Where that functionality exists in Windows is an implementation detail, we don't have to copy that.
I don't know the details, but this is not the mentality of Wine. The problem is if some application expects a particular behaviour, that behaviour needs to be replicated in Wine. Binary compatibility is important, so Wine tries to be bug-for-bug compatible.
This might be off-topic for this thread, but I feel it is relevant. Feel free to ignore or correct me if I'm wrong here.
