For this to really work properly the whole OS needs to be designed around it. Such OSes exist -- they're called "capability-based" -- but like so many other good ideas this one hasn't generated much interest in industry. I think we're stuck with explicit file handle management for the next couple of decades.

It doesn't seem to have demand paging either. Hmm. Maybe I should look at this sometime. -- wli
