What about a directory of directories?  For something like containers,
you want to bind-mount a directory on the host system into the
container's space.  It seems reasonable to have a directory of, for
example, copies of var for each of your container.  For example:

  /var/lib/containers/var/{mycontA,mycontB}/{lib,spool,cache,...}
                      ^^^  ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
                       |      |       |
  Pool ----------------+      |       |
  Volume ---------------------+       |
  Volume -----------------------------+

I haven't read anything in my skimming that leads me to believe that
anything in the infrastructure you're adding would prevent such an
implementation down the road, but I just thought I'd bring it up.
