Re: abstract file (support multi-part)

[Clayton Weaver <cgweav _at_ eskimo.com>]

If the VFS expects every file to be multi-part, then it still only
needs one generic interface to filesystem backends, one that
recognizes that traditional unix files simply don't have very
many parts.

This seems more maintainable than "Aieee, wierd filesystem!" special
cases in the VFS.

Regard,
