I very much doubt it.  There's not really any nice way to do this such 
that it is transactional and can be rolled back at will.  I suspect 
simulating files in the database layer is a better solution for 99% of 
things, and then a custom FFI-based solution will cover the last 1% in 
some potentially unsafe ways.
