Either Jeff's "refname $name's log goes to logs/graveyard/$name~" or
Michael's "append ~d to each directory component, append ~f to the
leaf component" that are already proposed will keep "one file per
name" property to allow us to open once and efficiently read the
file through.  Why would we want to see an inferiour alternative
added to the discussion?
Note that there may be some "other" advantage I am not seeing in the
"directory with timestamp in its name"; if it is a big enough
advantage over what have already been proposed, then that would be a
valid reason why we may want to see it as an alternative (and at
that point, it is no longer inferior).  That is the reason why I
asked "How would that help us in what way?"
