I'll just note that the "applications bundled as directories" stuff on
MacOS/NextStep is done completely in userspace--as far as the kernel
is concerned, "Mail.app" is a regular directory. The file manager
handles recognition and invocation of application bundles (and there
is an 'open' shell command that does the same thing).
