There are various ways of choosing the actions associated with a
file: you can match actions by a regexp or by the file contents (the
file command is used to figure out what the file is).

Right now delete is considered an internal operation and goes trough
the VFS.  We could change Delete to be a user-defined action and if no
Delete operation is defined, we fall back to VFS.
