OK.  I think past mentions of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace have been rebutted
with non-portability.  That Wikipedia page now says `Linux, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, NetBSD (as puffs), OpenSolaris, Minix 3, Android and macOS'.

Would it be presenting a read-only view of the master storage, and that
storage can still be diddled with by any Unix command?
