For scalability purposes, it may be useful to create a folder type that's actually a reference to another database. Even if DAOS obviates the need for that sort of hackery, it could be a useful configuration for a hypothetical large deployment with varied permission settings.
This likely wouldn't be too difficult to implement. It'd just be an embedded NSFFileSystem object that knows about the prefix and would then add or chop it off during lookup and save operations.
