Yes, I strongly agree. Being able to add this sort of thing via modules would be very cool. Now, you may or may not want to implement the filesystem support as a moudule but that doesn't really matter. Best book seen today: WebTV for dummies. First, there were books like "C for dummies". You know, reasonably complex topic, cool that they are calling people dummies. Then there were books like "Netscape for dummies", or even AOL for Dummies fits in here. Those are books that you go "god, anyone needing that must be a dummy." But with WebTV for dummies, all I think of is "yup, sounds like an appropriate book." I love some of the names of the dummies books though. Client/Server Computing for Dummies. Crossword Puzzles for Dummies Bach for Dummies Baroque for Dummies Beer for Dummies Bird Watching for Dummies Business Plans for Dummies Building an Intranet for Dummies Cats for Dummies. (by Gina Spadafori; read quickly that name looks like someone else) Cooking for Dummies (hmm... cna take that one two ways...) Dating for Dummies Nuclear Physics for Dummies (just kidding)
