I don't see the reason why the streams couldn't be implemented _on top_ of single stream filesystem implementations. The usecase you mention is probably solved with Virtual Memory and ELF today?

Yeah this design is pre-mmu and virtual memory, and NeXT/Apple solved it with bundles (store the streams as separate files in a specially named (ends in .app, .bundle, .framework etc) directory that the OS presents as a single file).

I... kinda want to see how this could be done with ELF now. It seems totally possible.
