In both Linux and Plan 9, a directory must exist before you can mount
another directory at that point to replace it.  This is not the case
in Plash.  When you attach an object at "/bin", it adds a "bin" entry
to the root directory.  When you then attach an object at "/bin/foo",
the directory at "/bin" will be unioned with a "foo" entry.

Does this override any "foo" entry in the Unix directory mounted at "/bin"?
