class ACE_Export ACE_Filecache_Handle
  // = TITLE
  //     Abstraction over a real file.  This is meant to be the entry
  //     point into the Cached Virtual Filesystem.
  // 
  // = DESCRIPTION
  // This is a cached filesystem implementation based loosely on the
  // implementation of JAWS_File.  The interfaces will be nearly the
  // same.  The under-the-hood implementation should hopefully be a
  // much faster thing.
  //
  // These will be given their own implementations later. For now, we
  // borrow the implementation provided by JAWS.
  //
  // On creation, the cache is checked, and reference count is
  // incremented.  On destruction, reference count is decremented.  If
  // the reference count is 0, the file is removed from the cache.
  //
  //     E.g. 1,
  //       {
  //         ACE_Filecache_Handle foo("foo.html");
  //         this->peer ().send (foo.address (), foo.size ());
  //       }
  //
  //     E.g. 2,
  //       {
  //         ACE_Filecache_Handle foo("foo.html");
  //         io->transmitfile (foo.handle (), this->peer ().handle ());
  //       }
  //
  //     E.g. 3,
  //       {
  //         ACE_Filecache_Handle foo("foo.html", content_length);
  //         this->peer ().recv (foo.address (), content_length);
  //       }
  //
  // TODO:

  // (1) Get rid of the useless copying of files when reading.  Although
  // it does make sure the file you send isn't being changed, it doesn't
  // make sure the file is in a sensible state before sending it.

  // Alternative: if the file get's trashed while it is being shipped, let
  // the client request the file again.  The cache should have an updated
  // copy by that point.

  // (2) Use hashing for locating files.  This means I need a hastable
  // implementation with buckets.

  // (3) Only lock when absolutely necessary.  JAWS_Virtual_Filesystem was
  // rather conservative, but for some reason it still ran into problems.
  // Since this design should be simpler, problems should be easier to spot.
