I have the idea to rewrite reiser4 code to another
language (probably D: has clean syntax, has classes and 
garbage collection) and then to have a demon system in
user space where I can experiment to implement 
sql - database features. My aim is a winfs (Microsoft)
like system where you have both a filesystem api 
and a full featured database.

Could reiser4 fit well to my purpose ?

As of now all plugin types have to be "hard-formatted" 
on the partition. You cannot introduce
new plugins to an existing filesystem, yes? 

The first part of my work would be to enable a special place 
on disk for definitions of used plugins.
