This is a duplicate of 167590/1777523.  

I'm submitting it because the explanation of how this is a "feature" makes
little sense.  

/tmp is a complete path.  There is no ambiguity, lack of clarity, or
possibility of confusion when displaying the full name.  Shorting the name to
/t is simply confusing.  

This is a mis-feature.  If the shortened sub-directory names are in the same
directory, then this creates confusion rather than clarity.  Truncating ~/tmp
to <userid>/t is unhelpful at best, confusing at worst,
because it's not obvious what the 't' is supposed to represent.  

Where are the "special names" described?  

At a minimum, this mis-feature should be user configurable and one which can be
disabled.
