"Plan 9 has union directories: directories made of several directories all bound to the same name. The directories making up a union directory are ordered in a list. When the bindings are made (see bind(1)), flags specify whether a newly bound member goes at the head or the tail of the list or completely replaces the list. To look up a name in a union directory, each member directory is searched in list order until the name is found. A bind flag specifies whether file creation is allowed in a member directory: a file created in the union directory goes in the first member directory in list order that allows creation, if any.

The [[PowerPlant]] framework used (uses?) this pattern to dispatch events from the actual target (button) up to its super-'commanders' (window, application).
