It never struck me that people would use the "same" name for two different things. I thought it was something more subtle, like I file being renamed from one case to another. I should have looked a bit more carefully.

I'd use a Linux system or a Linux VM for that. I do on occasion have a look through the Linux source code when I'm struggling with some badly documented hardware, but I could use a tarball for that. (I guess the netfilter code would still get mangled, but I can live with that.)
