Storing the extra part of the filename somewhere else (whether it is in
an xattr, in the file's header metadata, or in a special per-directory
file) is a possibility but there are still downsides to that type of
solution. Added code complexity is also a big issue from a maintenance
point-of-view.
If quality patches were proposed, I'd strongly consider merging them but
I do not currently have plans to implement this type of functionality.
