"Everything is a file".
A directory is just a data file with a certain structure that maps names
to inodes.
It might still be there somewhere - I can't imagine it's been deleted,
just forgotten - but I believe some editors (emacs probably) would let
you open that file, so you could rename files by editing the line that
defined them, you could unlink a file by deleting the line, etc etc.
Obviously a very dangerous mode, but Unix was always happy about handing
out powerful footguns willy nilly.
Cheers,
Wol
