Actually, this is easier than it seems. A simple restriction that makes
everything work well is to require that all underlying layers be made
read-only, which avoids a mess of consistency problems. Then, use a top
layer that supports sparse files. Reading a file becomes: try layer one -
oh, not there; try layer 2... No, I don't have working code yet.
