metas is much less likely than what clearcase uses to be hit accidentally (After all these years I forget what exactly clearcase special cases, maybe it was "@@"). When people using clearcase suffer a namespace collision, life goes on, no big deal, they structure a filename slightly differently and so what? I mean, just how much do we suffer from not being able to use '/' in filenames? Every once in a while it is annoying, but not that much....
