There is nothing magic about a directory or any other file named
test. You might be surprised at what happens when you try to
execute a command named "test" without supplying the path to
it - at least if you don't already know it is a shell built-in.
In *nix, connections to devices are always through filenames
connected by their major/minor device numbers instead of magic
in the name itself. Except Linux cheats on the network devices
and doesn't bother with putting eth0 (etc.) in the filesystem with
associated permissions.
