Well, speaking purely personally, I don't see how this differs usefully
from just creating as much ordinary swap as the maximum you let it use.
The only difference I see is that it lets files compete with swap for
disk space (at relatively coarse granularity); that strikes me as more
of a bug than a feature, in that I wouldn't want either to be capable
of running the other out of space, so presumably there's some use case
I'm missing where that's useful.
