I'd like to but I actually don't know yet, I haven't dug into the providers
using it to see exactly what is considered the "public API".  My concern
was too many providers are going to override a lot of the internal
functionality making it tricky to refactor to a significant deal, but that
was just a worry, not actually confirmed by reality.  This is just me
playing around with the code and trying to get a feel for how it works in
my mind and what scope we have to rework it without breaking things.

I suppose this brings up a good question - does anyone reading have a
custom provider based on ParsedFile that they don't have anywhere public?
 I'm trying to find a list of things outside of core relying on it so I can
see how they are using it, and so far I only really know of inifile.
