  I think at least some unix networked file systems support something
similar to this. Typically if you list the contents of /home you will only
see your own home directory and nobody else's. If you explicitly 'cd' to
someone else's home directory (if it's allowed) it will appear under /home.

  I don't know enough about file systems to be sure, but I would be
surprised if this wasn't supported by any unix networked file system.
