Interlisp
Let DIRECTORY/FILDIR return the PSEUDOFILENAME
The values returned by DIRECTORY are full file names, even if you are connected to a pseudohost and generally running in a pseudohost environment.
For example,
DIR '*.;
peels off the directory from the individual files, but shows it as the true path at the head of the list of files with the common pseudohost prefix.
Similarly, (FILDIR '*.;) shows the very verbose (and local-environment-dependent) names. FB is generally better, but in some case it also shows the true path name.
I think it would be more consistent and intuitive if DIRECTORY applies PSEUDOFILENAME to each of the files it encounters.
Do popular Common Lisp implementations have anything like Pseudohost? Or would it help with quick lisp or asdf?
The Steele book has a section on "logical path names", that's probably closest
