A few years ago you briefly discussed diddling the VFS to accept
objects which are both files and directories.  That is, have
->lookup() and also can be read as regular files.

I don't know if your thinking has changed, and I don't particularly
care, only thought I'd remind in case it's something you'd like to
support at some point.
