Confused file name in directory

[Root Boy Jim]

I like Chris Torek's idea on this one: change the directory to a
regular file, edit the `file', change it back to a directory, and
voila! So I propose ioctls to convert the inode of any open file to
any known type (consider the ramifications of converting a text file
to a symbolic link). This would also handle a problem I've always
wanted to solve: making a link to a given numbered inode.

Yow! Have I lost my mind? Is this heresy?
