I very much doubt it. There's not really any nice way to do this such
that it is transactional and can be rolled back at will. I suspect
simulating files in the database layer is a better solution for 99% of
things, and then a custom FFI-based solution will cover the last 1% in
some potentially unsafe ways.
Right. It would be semantically disastrous to expose the standard file
IO operations directly, since all server-side code runs in transactions
that should have serializable semantics.
