Once upon a time, I wanted j to be able to glue a zip archive onto the end and have that zipped directory structure provide the j ~system directory structure. (Executables reserve the start of the file to describe the layout of the program. Meanwhile, zip files reserve the end of the file to describe the layout of the program. This is the basis for self extracting executables.)
