How about: /hurd/shadowfs /dev/translator-mux/"/hurd/ext2fs /dev/foo"
Can Hurd file systems handle embedded slashes in weird ways like that?

yep.

That would be a pain and not fit well with the abstraction layers.
There is no inherent mapping between processes and filesystems.

How would libc know about the underlying port? Remember, the
