log why the permission is denied

There's always impedence mismatches. VMS's POSIX always had serious problems because VMS is not Unix. A program that doesn't know about the filesystem versioning can't do the right thing about it. If you start from the POSIX level, you have a hard time introducing features like that in the first place, because nothing will handle them correct.

I believe that file names should be valid strings of Unicode characters. But if you do that, there's going to be edge problems where POSIX programs can't access certain files, can't create certain files for reasons inexplicable to them, or the POSIX filename-native filename mapping is confusing. The question is going to be is it worth it?
