"""
DictFS allows you to easily create read-only filesystems when the
file tree is known in advance.

To create your own DictFS descendent, simply override the files
property, which can be created either using the property
decorator, or just a simple assignment.

A dictionary represents a directory, with keys corresponding to
file names and the values corresponding to the file contents.
