as I understand, /dev/pts was created
to make an end to the overload in /dev/<devices>
and let the kernel put the entries in /dev/pts
when they are used/needed/installed.
but still, when I enable /dev/pts, I have to
keep the /dev/<devices> for backward compatibility
with already installed applications that rely on them.
would it be possible/sane to make like a
/dev/* (some sort of a /dev/B-compatible) besides
/dev/pts, where the kernel `translates' the
/dev/<device> request to /dev/* and then
`translate' that to the correct /dev/pts entry ??
at least, something like that...
