Wo really cares for that ? Imagine you have a small cluster size of
4kB and you have the smallest possible size of one cluster, then the
additional overhead is 12 byte against 4kB, that's 3 per thousand,
dimishing when the file becomes bigger. If the cluster size is larger
the part is even smaller.

You couldn't change existing filesstems for that without
changing the API. This would never change for Unix systems.
