# synthesise a file that can be treated just like any other
# file. limitations of file2chan mean that it's not possible
# to know when an open should have truncated the file, so
# we do the only possible thing, and truncate it when we get
# a write at offset 0. thus it can be edited with an editor,
# but can't be used to store seekable, writable data records
# (unless the first record is never written)

# there should be some way to determine when the file should
# go away - file2chan sends a nil channel whenever the file
# is closed by anyone, which is not good enough.
