The STREAM handle can have a chain of filters attached, so I suppose its
similar in that way. But its more tuned to the "Filesystem" concept, than a
list of "filters".

Yeah, I'm not 100% on what that'll look like, I had wanted to make it like
kde's or xine's URI system, ie: file://foo/bar.png loads foo/bar.png from the
local file system. /foo/bar.png or vfs://foo/bar.png loads it from the VFS.
And the difference between the local file system and the VFS, is that /
or /foo in the VFS can be "mounted" (like in unix) to any VFS supported file
system, ie: file:///usr/share/mygame/data or zip,file://foo/bar.zip.
