[squeak-dev] Why would (Unix)FileDirectory class>>#checkName:fixErrors: mangle a correctly formatted file path/name?

At least, UnixFileDirectory seems to - 

'/home/pi/Squeak/Senders of printPSToFileNamed:.ps’ asFileName

results in  '#home#pi#Squeak#Senders of printPSToFileNamed:.ps’, which seems very odd.  Surely if you have a string that is a correct filename returned by some other code that carefully makes such, then #asFileName etc ought to return the same (or even the original) string?
