Heh, this is tricky to describe and I'm not really following what you
mean.  They're all on the same tree but a controller should be able to
handle a given subtree as single group.  e.g. if you draw the tree,
different controllers should be able to draw different enclosing
circles and operate on the simplifed tree.  How flexible that should
be, I don't know.  Maybe it would be enough to be able to say "treat
all children of this node as belonging to this node for controllers X
and Y".

I don't agree with that.  If we do it that way, we would lose
differing granularity from forcing co-mounting and then restore it
later when the subtree handling is implemented.  If we can do away
with differing granularity, that's fine; otherwise, it doesn't make
much sense to remove and then restore it.

Thanks.
