That, and datasets, which are not really hierarchical.
Yes there's a hierarchy (with . as a separator), but it's more naming convention than a description of the underlying filesystem. You can create projects.foo.code.bar without having any entity (like a Unix directory) for projects.foo first.

It had at one time a hierarchical file system, but at some point they decided it was pointless and adopted a naming convention instead. I was trying to get around it on SimH, with the B5500 version. Definitely deserves the name.
