   Couldn't we use the existing Create table to do something like
    
   `CREATE TABLE "name" USING iceberg OPTIONS (path = "x")`
   
   Or are we trying to keep from ever naming the table representing the directory?
   
   As for the select, I think that sounds reasonable as long as those kind of strings with slashes can be passed through easily. I'm assuming we would just branch off in the Catalog load table method?
   
   I'm sorry I'm still a bit new here, so I'm not fully up to date on what's going on here. But it seems as though we just want a way of treating a directory as a table?
