Whoa there, mister (bad), it's one of *my* goals. We are doing Silent Bob
in 0.4, at least. Sure, I'd love more steganography but there's only so
much time in the day. If there are some steganographers about then I'll
certainly support their efforts.

When all of this key index metadata searching hoo-dad is over, I'll try to
get to steganography.

Well, hopefully it's some consolation that in 0.4, all you have to do is
wipe* the directory file for the datastore and this will be virtually
impossible.  The datastore will be one huge encrypted file and the
encryption key will be in the directory file.

(* wipe == delete + overwrite those blocks with random data multiple times,
           e.g. the 'wipe' program for unix  --  for those who don't know)
