FWIW, although I won't argue strongly for it here (we can always come back
to it), I don't think there are any strong arguments against being able to
create Files in there.  You don't need a real file on a filesystem in order
to expose file metadata in File (it's just an interface), and having
objects with the File interface always backed by a filesystem file doesn't
seem like a very meaningful distinction.
