Comment (by axeld):
It's a bad idea to rely on it, but there is no reason that Haiku could not
support it -- most file systems should be able to support it properly.
The only problem I see is with binary compatibility. We could reuse the
extra query fields, though, but that would mean they have a different
meaning for queries and directory listings.
However, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, unless you have a good
example of what kind of optimization this feature allows for.
