Well, the thing has to be ready for use at boot time (even before chandevreset, IMHO). Thus I took care to write this in a way that does not require processes or other external artifacts (but for memory allocation and i/o, of course). Providing a file system interface could be done, but the problem is the interpreter itself, not providing the tree as a file system. But time will tell. Thanks for saying. Any idea is welcome in any case.
