I can't name any although the topic regualry pops up its head in committee
discussions. While this is only remotely related, Beman is proposing
a filesystem interface for future extension to the C++ library. His
current implementation takes advantage of POSIX where available.
I've also heard at multiple times that Matt is interested in
alternative file/stream model (e.g. things like memory mapped files);
maybe Bruce might want to get in contact with them.
