 If you are looking to implement a working FS object, derive a class from fs.base.FS and implement the essential methods (below). Be sure to convert all exceptions to instances of :class:`fs.errors.FSError`.
 
-It may also be worthwhile implementing some of the non-essential methods, as the default implementations may not be optimal. For example, the method :meth:`fs.base.FS.move` is implemeneted as a file copy followed by a delete, but may filesystems can move a file without copying data.

-If the filesystem you are implementing maps path to the native filesystem, be sure to implement `getsyspath`. Doing so will improve performance, especialy when copying / moving files between FS objects.
