That's what I had in mind, though splicing a zip at the lower level
is tempting for an even easier distribution of content...  But it
sounds better to avoid it and instead, when needed, go for the
lowlevel hooks so that any arbitrary code could be plugged in to
access files.

BTW, a cute mini project would be to start with some bindings to FUSE,
then have a single racket process that has code for implementing a FS
and also use it -- so you end up having racket code that implements
the access, and code that uses it.  But I think that there's no
per-process local mounting via fuse...
