Perhaps. :)I'm more in line with Henrik at the moment. Maybe we plan to make them dynamic first, and then perhaps replace the system with something better afterwards, if
we can think of something better.

Algorithm needs careful choice. We don't want to waste gobs of memory on an underutilised filemap, but neither do we want to spend lots of cycles walking it, or performing
frequent shrinking or expansion.
