Your earlier suggestion that at some point they fixed the kernel build so I can go "/path/to/dir /path/to/file.txt" (which didn't _used_ to work, I tested it way back when) would presumably solve my problem without kernel patches.
I just haven't been programming much since Gavin "spyware" Newsom passed his stupid "age verification in the OS" bill (https://mstdn.jp/@landley/116194386057190345) where every cloud instance needs to report an "age" to Palantir, implying I'll have to take mkroot down before Jan 1st to avoid $7k/download fines, and I'm looking at maybe getting a job in healthcare or something.
