I'm not sure what filelist has that you need to begin with...
sequence? You might be better off creating a resource type that
decorates another resource to add the attributes you need, i.e. adding
'scope' to some file-based resource. Then you could create those
directly, or implement a resource collection to transform the
resources of some other resource collection to your new resource type.
This approach is probably your best best because then your resources
should be usable by whatever other tasks know how to deal with
filesystem-based resources.
