I'm not sure whether or not this causes problems: If we have the
filename a/b, then either a is a file, in which case we can assume that
it is a packfile and b is a subfile, or a is a directory, in which case
it can not be a packfile, so we can safely assume that b is a sub-file
of a. In best case, this makes the packfile system perfectly
transparent; in worst case, I've overlooked something and it won't work.
Anyway, right now this is hardly our biggest concern, and I don't mind
much if we keep the '#' as it is.
