Hello,

While reading the BeFS book "Practical Filesystems" I have gotten really
interested in this and it's why I am reading/learning the Linux
implementation.

The idea of adding write support has crossed my mind, but I wanted to know
if you would be interested in this before I start looking into it. Are you?

It would take some time and there are other things to clean in the befs code
first though.

Thanks,
Luis
