This is a list of rejected TODO items.
* In "pool" for Windows, and for unique directories a junction to the
directory could be used, avoiding to use symlinks to files.
This allows to overcome the problem of sharing symlinks.
- It would work, in fact it would work to well. The problem is that
Windows will treat the junction as the real directory, like *really*
deleting its content from Explorer pressing "del" and also from the
command line with "rd". Too dangerous.
* When fixing, before overwriting the present file, make a copy of it just in
case that the original file cannot be completely recovered.
We can always open files in read-only mode, if a write is required, we close it,
