I don't have any code (yet).  If you are going to work on it then I would be 
more than happy to leave it to you.  I would be very interested in testing 
it, but my coding time is unfortunately quite limited at the moment and I'd 
prefer to focus on the things that don't have someone else about to work on 
them.

One non-obvious feature request that I have is for a truncate on a 
non-existant file to create it (similar to the way "touch" is commonly used 
to create files).
