I thought you might want a "ctl" file into which you write the
representation you want and that magically creates a new file or
directory.  Or use a "clone" style protocol which is more suitable for
the automatic creation of new entities.

The "mntgen" approach is clever, but I find the Schroedinger Cat
nature of it a little daunting.

Of course, you may specifically want to go for a totally different
approach, in which case I plead guilty to not understanding the exact
nature of the solution you're seeking.
