OK. Well defined and well limited things are good.

I am not aware of any good opensource network file system with local
hd caching but quite likely it will appear one day (I hope).

If it appears and is good and installed anyway, it may be nice to
synchronize its file caching activities with BProc library caching to
avoid any duplicity? (But probably this is too hypothetical today.)
