Totally cool.

Nice that it would be possible and workable. Maybe the idea can be put 
in the todo list? I saw a one points on the todo list that might benefit 
from this approach:

- Time slider

The time slider for a single file could be implemented by using the 
proposed extra inode field "previous". (Another approach would be the 
one currently employed by the TimeBrowse program.)

Keep up the good work!
