So. Where. Is. This. Used??? The comment in sq.h merely states:

   "New filename converting function; used by the interpreterProxy 
function ioFilenamefromStringofLengthresolveAliases. Most platforms can 
ignore the resolveAlias boolean - it seems to only be of use by OSX but 
is crucial there."

and unfortunately, this doesn't give much guidance about arguments or 
return values. Without an example (which I have asked for, remember?) it 
is *impossible* to implement that function correctly based on the 
information I have.
