#: In short, it sounds good but I don't think it's possible to firm up the

There is a God(dess).  Thank you.

It's an interesting idea, to say the least, but implementation details
aside, you *can* do something like that, except that you must implement
it in wetware, i.e., this is what we were given brains for: to write
file specs and magic numbers, and shell/perl scripts to sort out the
whole mess.  It's a trivial operation if you want to implement it in
user code.  Really.
