Could you give a bit more details about the use cases this is designed for?
It seems that when people review my work they want a lot of details
about the use cases, so I guess they would also be interesting in
getting this kind of information for your work too.
Could this support users who would be interested in lazily cloning
only one kind of files, for example *.jpeg?
