I never liked either. "filesystem" is too long and sounds affected. "fs" is too short and non-specific. Those names just escaped because nothing better surfaced.
Maybe if the LWG likes the library enough to standardize it we can come up with a better name.
Just a thought: "files" is about the right length, and says about the right thing. If you're not abbrev-adverse it could even stand for "filesystem".
Yes, "files" would work. I'll add it to the lists of candidates. --Beman
