I second that motion.

Without breaking too many NDAs all at once, something like the XBox has a
very anemic file system that wouldn't support any directory or naming
specific features at all.  And the cartridge based systems like N64 don't
have one at all except on their RAM storage cards.

Keeping the language separate from the surrounding utilities is wise, IMHO.
