The last time I looked at it, the "experimental" tag had been removed, but
it only supported changes-in-place and deletion.  That is, you could: read
anything, write to a file as long as it did not change the file size, and
delete.

New file creation and file-size changes seem not to work - and deletion
seems half-implemented, in that one of the things it does is mark the NTFS
as dirty so that the next time you boot Windows, it forces a chkdsk to clean
up the deletion properly.
