Any plans of hiding "Windows hidden files" on WSL bash? #459

Now that %userprofile% is mounted as the ~ directory, became clear to me that NTUSER.DAT and a thousand others system files are unnecessary shown to WSL. So, is there any plans of hiding "Windows hidden files" on WSL bash? They are already specially treated as accessing them was causing BSoD. Hiding them, to me, is a step forward to prettify ls output.

On the other hand, *NIX applications tend to store configuration files on home directory using the dot convention, and then %userprofile% became full of dotfiles. Any plans of automatically applying the atribute on Windows-side when a .dotfile is created on WSL?
