Why would I create a reparse point on NTFS with this value? This RP type would only be interesting if I can access the information for files on a non-Windows remote filesystem to indicate special file types. Granted, it *could* be used by Cygwin on NTFS to indicate Cygwin's own implementations of AF_LOCAL sockets or fifos. Or even for symlinks. But that would only introduce YA symlink type which would be unusable from non-Cygwin applications. Or am I missing something?
