Actually it might be even cooler to have a generic function which you
can apply to any file on a file system (or whatever) and which returns
you the file system's capabilities (can write, has xattrs, has acl,
has multiple streams, *not* has btree lookups etc, as that is *not*
interesting to userland anyway.)
