And from there the next step down the slippery slope would be to make this be a bit more like a fcntl-style F_GETFL/F_SETFL style interface, so we can in the future set and get other ext4-specific struct_file-specific flags. :-) I'll let you decide how far you want to go with this; I won't mind if you keep it with the original KISS interface, but I also won't mind if you want to create a somewhat more expansive interface.
