1. I love the design decision of using composition to expose mutable file system features in a way that nicely mirrors design of io/fs.Fs

2. the addition of a standardized test suite is a nice touch. I might start doing that with my own projects. This is the kind of thing that could really help accelerate the plugin ecosystem around a library or application. Plus, it can double as API documentation.

What would be cool is to have a method to turn such golang fs into an actual filesystem, like fuse…
