Or is the proposal on the table for the same installation to be usable
in both modes, depending on the nature of the launched application?
That's an interesting idea but I don't think anyone was proposing that.
Is there any reason why we'd need to add a hook to filename parsing?
That would be an alternative to hooking fstab.
Well, MSYS doesn't mind dos-style filenames, so the big-ugly-warn-once
thing shouldn't happen... And if we ever do, really and truly, deprecate
dos-style paths for cygwin /proper/, you'd need to hook the parsing in
order to restore that functionality for cygwin-/msys/.
