Heh:

Three levels of indirection are currently supported:

- single indirection
- double indirection

somebody has trouble counting.

More seriously, I'd _really_ love to see something like a "swapfs", ie
tmpfs with cachefs as a backing store. It would be a lot more useful for
testing that AFS+cachefs, and would hopefully also act as a example of how
to use it _without_ having to worry about AFS.

Is that possible?
