  It would be nice to have it in base, though, and to enable the
users to choose between the implementations using mechanisms such as
libmap.conf (BTW, do we want that?). I suppose there were reasons not

If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
If it's not there, and you can see it, it's virtual.
If it's there, and you can't see it, it's transparent.
If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it.
