If you have one filesystem mounted on the root filesystem, and use an
absolute path, you are already going through two translators.
So if you go through root and mounted fs, or through unionfs and mounted fs,
is really not much of a difference. The latter might even be faster in some
cases, because you skip a lot of actual file system operations.
