I've also manually confirmed one of the big improvements I'd been asking
for (that writes in cached modes, which used to be chunked to 4k, and

cachefile object as xattrs, but it means you have to do two xattr lookups in
the event of a cache miss.

I've got a couple of questions below, but:

I'll address those separately.
