Caveats for removing /cygdrive prefix?

[Matt D.]

I've always used Cygwin's fstab /cygdrive default but I'm growing tired 
of always typing it out; msys's simple "/a" "/c" "/d" prefix for drive 
letters always seemed closer to home while on a Windows machine.

The only problem I've encountered is a borked ls display when an actual 
folder "a", "b", etc., appears in the Cygwin root folder and the 
inability to enumerate drive with "ls /cygdrive".

Are there any other caveats to consider?

Also, it would be nice if doing a directory list on /cygdrive was a 
hard-coded operation, to preserve this functionality.
