Note that there are no callbacks, no threads and no races. The code
can be written sequentially.
There are certainly threads here, although they would have to be
hidden behind the scenes, with a barrier to provide synchronization
before "filesystem stuff" can run.
Also, we're not bringing FUSE into the main API.
Is this such a problem? We could dlopen libfuse if the dependency on
libfuse was a problem ...
