That's exactly the behavior I got when I created a file with a slash in it.

Except, in UNIX, one can have a completely *valid*
filename with
slashes in it. Or almost any other character in the system

Unix filenames can't have slashes in them (everything except slash and
null is allowed). All Unices that I know of would interpret a path with
slashes in it as a path with subdirectories, not a filename.
