Paul Eggert had a paper about an extensible file system (i.e. you can make "special links" into commands...
It was in a usenix processing a few years ago...I found it interesting...
(i.e. file file foo.gz you can make a special link with the command
zcat foo.gz named foo to get both the compressed and uncompressed file.
I asked him for his work and he said it was prime-time yet...(this was a few years ago...I can ask him again...)
