Well, it worked ok for most of my testing, but there was a strange error in
gnus after a while.  Not sure if that was the file-name-handlers or not.
What I'd need is a few people (heavy users) who would want to turn this
code on and run for a day or so and see if any conflicts show up.

I'm going to run with it today and see what I can find.
