The jmf basic functionality is great,

however there are few questions

(dyadic map: to J list, monadic map: to any J noun).

 - Is jmf able to map list to a part of a file?
   Use case: file is binary data, and we need
   a particular address range of particular type

 - Can J noun be mapped to a component of a J component
   file? Or maybe a new J component file type where
   J noun headers are stored in the file header, etc.
   Use case: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/DB/Flwor
   locale/nouns database stored in one component file

 - Smarter (re)allocation of mapped file (or component)
   size that is deduced from data type/shape rather
   than guessed and provided explicitly.

 - Support for (semi-)automated mapped file growth
   when appending items to mapped J list.
