No plans for any of these at this time. JFS has not been under active
development for a long time. I continue to maintain it to keep it
functioning, but it's not a high priority for me any more.

I'd be happy to accept patches from anybody interested in implementing
any of these, and I'm available to help with any questions, but I don't
have plans for any of this.
