better yet. Make credits a subdirectory of metas, and put there a
(virtual) file per credit entry. Only "ls" is necessary to view this.
Make the root of the file system include a copy of that virtual
directory under the name "reiser4_credits_virtual_directory".

Even Nautilus users will see it, and will have no trouble reading the
contents should they choose to do so.

Just as with Hans' opera leaflet analogy, if someone wants to glance at
it, they'll know that ABC corporation has been generous. OTOH, I don't
know of an opera that requires you to pick up, read and memorise the
leaflet if you don't want to do it -- North Korean operas don't need to
apply.
