Andrew can cache whole files locally and send back journaled updates.
It's a lot more than cfs.  This is not a trivial project.  Might be
interesting though.

//Local caching would be great, I think.

okay, let me say off the bat i have no idea how
AFS handles caching, so this comparison may be
totally inapropriate. but for fs caching in
Plan 9 (without 9p↔AFS), take a look at cfs(4)
and the -C option to mount in bind(1).

if your goal is talking to AIX or other Unix
boxes, take a look at u9fs(4).
