Yes, that's the plan. Since we already have the query parser in BFS, it 
shouldn't be too hard to define a common interface to it and export it 
as module. It's just important to give the file system the power it 
needs to make this as efficient as possible; ie. for networking file 
systems, the query should be processed server side.
