gollark: Non-evil FS API ideas:- direct `write`/`read` access - no handles or handles emulated on top of this - either that or your thing can implement *either* handles *or* direct read/write and have the API translate it- no `fs.find`, `fs.combine`, `fs.complete`, `fs.getDir`, `fs.getName`- `mount`/`unmount`- per-file metadata
