VMS::IndexedFile accepts a string containing an FDL spec or a file
spec pointing to an FDL file as one of the arguments to one of its
methods (don't remember specifics). I never looked to see if it uses
the FDL$ routines or does its own parsing in preparation for making
RMS calls. Either way, it might be informative to see how it accomplishes
something that overlaps with the proposed VMS::FDL.
