Floppies might be a tough thing to waste the fd namespace on. What if we called it something that was still short but less ambiguous like floppies, similar to how we have manuals?

i appreciate the concern but i don't know what else we'd use "fd" for - it's not like we need a package of file descriptors (in case people run out). since all the tools start are called fd* and floppy disks were historically /dev/fd* this seems like a good name.
