IMO, if we have no reasonably clear idea how this will be used on the
high level, it might make sense to move this to a feature branch,
instead of working on master.  That's because without a high-level
view, there's no way people could try implementing the same
functionality on platforms other than GNU/Linux, let alone use it.  So
from my POV, at this point this is just an experiment, and we have
feature branches for that.
