Proposals for filesystem is just part of what we need. We also need a way
to expose it through HtMLInputElement. And a way to allow not exposing the
files through .files.

Actually, a filesystem might not even be needed. We could just expose an
asynchronous iterator.

Again, and with extra oomph,  proposals welcome.
