Couldn't you do something even with VFS? If not, FUSE (the crunchy

fs, which could be 'cribbed'.

If work and leisure are soon to be subordinated to this one utopian
principle -- absolute busyness -- then utopia and melancholy will come
to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy --
and without consciousness.
