Um... you can't do that, right now, can you?

I mean, word on the street is that lukem's working on a way to do
this, but so far as I know, the only ways to create a file system
within a plain file are to use mkisofs, to do newfs on an mfs
that's a mmap()ed file (or something similar), or to play with vnd,
but in all of these cases you're at least dealing with a pseudo
device whos character version you're welcome to write all over.

Am I confused?
